10. Marco Belinelli, San Antonio Spurs

3PT FGM: 1.6 

3PT FG%: .430

FT%: .847

Mid-Range FG%: .449

True Shooting %: .605

The San Antonio Spurs play home to some of the best shooters in the NBA. The likes of Danny Green, Patty Mills and Matt Bonner call the AT&T Center home.

If only one is to be selected for this list, however, it’s Marco Belinelli.

Belinelli made waves as a breakout performer for the Chicago Bulls during the 2013 NBA Playoffs. He then rose to fame with an insane 24-point round at the 2014 Three-Point Shootout at All-Star Weekend.

In actual game scenarios, Belinelli balanced a remarkable 3-point shooting percentage of 43.0 with a free throw percentage of 84.7. He also converted 44.9 percent of his mid-range jump shots.

Belinelli may not be a household name, but he’s a legitimate marksman who can make defenses pay from anywhere on the court.

With another season of this consistency, he’ll crack the Top 5.
