Brooklyn Nets: Ranking team’s 3PT shooters best to worst

The Brooklyn Nets have good shooters and bad shooters on the current 15-man roster. How should they be ranked best to worst?

Joe Harris led the NBA in 3-point shooting last season at 47.4 percent, establishing himself as not only the best long-range shooter on the team but one of the best in the entire NBA. Even with the additions of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, Harris likely still deserves to be regarded as the best sniper on the roster. But who’s No. 2 or 3 as well as the worst shooter on the Brooklyn Nets? This article will rank the best 3-point shooters on the current 15-man roster from 1-to-15.

Ranking Rules

The rankings that follow are specifically based on catch-and-shoot 3-point shooting ability. One could understandably argue that off-the-dribble shooting should be taken into account, but for simplicity’s sake, I decided to focus on catch-and-shoot ability. In a sense, the rankings consider how players would fare in the All-Star Weekend 3-point competition (Harris won last year).

The difficulty of a player’s catch-and-shoot attempts is not taken into account. NBA.com has data on how close the nearest defender is on a player’s shot attempts, but it does not neatly filter this for catch-and-shoot attempts specifically. Essentially, trying to factor this in gets too complicated.

The rankings also divide the players into groups, not tiers. The groups are just for fun and do not necessarily represent a notable drop-off from one group to the next. Additionally, there are some subjective, non-data based factors embedded in the rankings, and all players are assumed to be at full health (e.g. Durant).
