Group 3: The Ball-Handlers That Can Shoot

7. Spencer Dinwiddie

Performance on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers:

2018-19  –  56-152 (36.8%)

2017-18  –  67-182 (36.8%)

Two-season average: 36.8%

Dinwiddie is an example of someone that might have ranked higher on the list if hoff-the-dribble shooting was taken into account. 270 (58.6 percent) of his 370 total 3-point attempts last season were pull-up shots (made 31.3 percent). The 31.3 number might not seem great, but most players couldn’t pull that off on that level of volume. Overall, his catch-and-shoot percentages have been consistent but don’t warrant him being placed any higher on the list.

8. Caris LeVert

Performance on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers:

2018-19  –  18-66 (27.3%)

2018-19  –  55-149 (36.9%)

Two-season average: 32.1%

LeVert wasn’t a good catch-and-shoot shooter when he was healthy last season, but with all the improvements he’s made to his game, it’s hard to imagine his shot doesn’t get better this season as well.

Additionally, LeVert shot a much better 36.9 percent two seasons ago and made 34.9 percent (30-for-86) off-the-dribble attempts last season. Both of these statistics suggest he’s significantly better than the 27.3 catch-and-shoot percentage might suggest.
