Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson is off to a hot start shooting the basketball.

The Villanova product shot 40.8 percent from three in his senior year but entered the NBA in 2018 as a non-shooter. Brunson shot less than 36 percent in his first two seasons with the Dallas Mavericks. His third season is when he started to make improvements. He went from 35.8 percent in 2019–2020 to 40.5 percent in 2020–21. After stepping up, he took a step back down the next season, only hitting 37.3 percent of his treys.

Brunson then signed with the Knicks in the 2022 off-season.
