NBA: Predicting the 2022 season leaders in every statistical category

NBA statistical leaders: 2-point percentage – Rudy Gobert
Predicted percentage: 67.5

Rudy Gobert might not have much scoring ability outside of the paint, but he’s unstoppable when he has the ball around the basket. He’s a 64.6 percent shooter from 2-point range in his career, led the NBA in 2-point shooting last season, and there’s no reason to think he won’t shoot between 65 and 70 percent next season.

NBA statistical leaders: 3-point percentage – Joe Harris
Predicted percentage: 48.0

Joe Harris might not get all the headlines for the Brooklyn Nets, but he’s a deadly complement to their Big 3 of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving. With all those weapons and Harden’s playmaking ability, Harris is going to be open an absurd amount next season and he’ll make defenses pay for having to pick their poison.

NBA statistical leaders: 3-pointers made – Stephen Curry
Predicted total: 345

Steph Curry might not shoot the highest percentage from 3-point range this season, but with his efficiency and super-high volume, he’ll almost certainly hit the most attempts. Most years when healthy he leads the NBA in both attempts and makes from long distance, and you can expect this season to be no exception.
