Damian Lillard Among League’s Best 3-Point Shooters

Damian Lillard’s 3-point shooting does wonders for the Portland Trail Blazers’ offense, giving them an outside threat on a roster that can run streaky from beyond the arc. Adam Fromal of Bleacher Report recognized Lillard’s outside shot, placing him among the best 3-point shooters in the league based on metrics. The guard falls into the “high-volume creators” cluster:

36.0 percent on 8.2 attempts per game with 47.1 percent created

Though this is purely an anecdotal observation, Damian Lillard might take the toughest collection of threes in the NBA.
