Phoenix Suns: Predicting statistical leaders in each major category

Phoenix Suns statistical leaders – 3-point percentage: Mikal Bridges
Predicted percentage: 44.5 percent

Last season Bridges was incredible from beyond the 3-point line last season. A career 37.6 percent shooter, Bridges went at 42.5 percent and was a big reason the Suns were at the top of the NBA. He was given tremendous service by Chris Paul and this will not change next year. Expect Bridges to be at the top of the NBA in 3-point shooting again next season.

Phoenix Suns statistical leaders – 2-point percentage: JaVale McGee
Predicted percentage: 66.5 percent

McGee has not shot the ball well for the last two stops that he has been in. If you look back over his career, when he has played with a top point guard McGee has shot the ball at over 60 percent. In the two seasons that he won his championships with he played with LeBron James and Stephen Curry. Now that he has Chris Paul setting his table, McGee will again be atop the team’s percentages.

Phoenix Suns statistical leaders – free-throw percentage: Chris Paul
Predicted percentage: 93.1 percent

Paul has been one of the best free-throw shooters in the NBA for a long time now. Last season he shot an incredible 93.4 percent from the line. Despite being closer to 40 than 30, thanks to his plant-based diet, he is not slowing down. He is going to be at the top of the NBA in free-throw percentage until the day that he retires.
