The NBA regular season is just around the corner with one game day to go. This means that a long regular season is over, with some teams preparing for the playoffs and others heading into the offseason. Of course, the current regular season statistics will also be settled.
Curry continues to excel in the three-point field, hitting 357 three-pointers this season, the most in the league. Compared to the second-place Doncic, Curry led by 73 three-pointers. When we turned over the list of total three-point shots, the name of the third place made many fans shine. And this player has also played for the Warriors, and that is DiVincenzo, who is currently playing for the Knicks.
DiVincenzo has hit 278 three-pointers so far, which ranks third in the league. In fourth place was Thompson, who hit 262 three-pointers. I have to say that DiVincenzo hit 278 three-pointers and really surprised many fans. DiVincenzo has arguably become one of the league's top scorers this season. He averaged 3.5 three-pointers per game and shot 40.2 percent from three-point range.
With DiVincenzo's outstanding performance from beyond the three-point line this season, DiVincenzo's points per game have also improved significantly this season, and DiVincenzo can contribute 15.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game this season, which is a significant improvement compared to the Warriors last season. Of course, when he was with the Warriors last season, he was already very good. He was also able to shoot 39.7 percent from three-point range while with the Warriors.
After the end of last season, the Warriors did not opt to sign DiVincenzo to a contract extension. Because the Warriors were facing huge luxury tax pressure at that time, and keeping DiVincenzo was bound to raise his salary, the Warriors did not choose to keep DiVincenzo in order to save the luxury tax, and maybe now the Warriors management will regret it after seeing DiVincenzo's performance. If DiVincenzo can play like this for the Warriors this season, the Warriors will almost be out of the box on the offensive end. Because there are three players on the team who can shoot more than three three-pointers per game.
DiVincenzo has been better than Thompson in three-point shooting this season, and he's now a more accurate player than Thompson. We really have to be thankful for the Knicks. Because the Knicks signed DiVincenzo on a four-year contract, the annual salary is only more than $12 million. This contract is great value because DiVincenzo is not only capable of providing firepower on the offensive end, he is also a great defensive stalwart. Strictly speaking, the Knicks got a great 3-and-D player. That's why the Knicks have improved their record this season.
