Here are the marksmen of the Paris Olympics! 

Three-point shooting has become increasingly valuable in basketball, not only in the NBA but across international play as well, thanks in large part to Stephen Curry. Teams around the world are leaning heavily on the three-pointer, and we can expect to see this trend continue in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Here are the top 5 three-point shooters to watch at the upcoming Games.

Stephen Curry

2023-24 NBA Stats: 4.8-11.8 3PM-3PA, 40.8 3PT%

Stephen Curry, widely regarded as the greatest shooter in NBA history, continues to impress with his remarkable shooting skills. Averaging nearly five made three-pointers per game, his quick release and ability to create shots off the dribble make him a constant threat. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Curry’s shooting will be a key asset for Team USA, stretching defences and generating opportunities for his teammates. His impact extends beyond stats, as his presence often draws multiple defenders. In Paris, he led all scorers against Serbia with 24 points, including six threes.

Kevin Durant

2023-24 NBA Stats: 2.2-5.4 3PM-3PA, 41.3 3PT%

Kevin Durant remains one of the most efficient scorers in basketball, shooting over 40% from three-point range this past NBA season. His height and shooting skills make him a formidable challenge for any defender. Durant’s smooth stroke and ability to score from anywhere on the court will be vital for his team's success at the Olympics. His international experience and three gold medals add significant value, with a proven track record of excelling under pressure. Although he hasn’t played for Team USA yet, his addition could make the team nearly unstoppable.

Jrue Holiday

2023-24 NBA Stats: 2.0-4.7 3PM-3PA, 42.9 3PT%

Jrue Holiday, renowned for his defensive excellence, has significantly enhanced his game with sharp three-point shooting. Averaging 42.9% from beyond the arc for the Boston Celtics in the 2023-24 season, Holiday’s accuracy is key for floor spacing. His defensive skills, versatile guarding, and leadership make him invaluable in high-pressure situations. With his championship experience, Holiday is set to play a crucial role in the Olympics, and so far, he appears to be the starting guard alongside Stephen Curry, bolstering Team USA's chances for gold.

Jamal Murray

2023-24 NBA Stats: 2.5-5.8 3PM-3PA, 42.5 3PT%

Jamal Murray's shooting and clutch performances make him a standout player. Averaging over 40% from three-point range with the Denver Nuggets, his consistency and range are exceptional. His knack for hitting crucial shots in key moments will be vital for his team’s success. Murray's playmaking and scoring abilities enhance his impact, making him a dual threat. His experience in high-pressure situations and proven ability to perform under stress will be invaluable for Canada, as they benefit from the former NBA champion’s shooting powers.

Andreas Obst

2023-24 EuroLeague Stats: 2.1-5.2 3PM-3PA, 40.9 3PT%

Andreas Obst is a premier three-point shooter in the EuroLeague, boasting an impressive 40.9% shooting percentage from beyond the arc. His efficiency and consistency are standout attributes, with his ability to hit catch-and-shoot threes off screens making him a valuable asset in both domestic and international play. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Obst’s shooting will be crucial for Germany, potentially creating space for teammates and providing key scoring support, especially when Dennis Schroder drives to the rim. His quick release and sharp mechanics ensure he remains a constant long-range threat.

LeBron James, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Patty Mills, Nando De Colo, and Derrick White closely follow these players when it comes to shooting percentage at the Olympics.
