Following the third player ratings update for NBA 2K20, which arrived in early December, here are the best three-point shooters in the game.

The NBA has evolved a lot over the past few years with an increased emphasis on three-point shooting. While there are still some dominant big men in the game, the three-point boom is a trend that isn’t going away, so it’s only natural to seek out the best shooters in NBA 2K20.

We’ve compiled a list of the best three-point shooters in NBA 2K20 following the game’s most recent update. The latest player ratings update arrived in early December, so here are the best three-point shooters as of that update:

  1. Steph Curry (Golden State Warriors) – 99  3PT, 95 OVR – Offensive Threat
  2. Klay Thompson – 95 3PT, 89 OVR – 2-Way 3-Level Scorer
  3. Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks) – 92 3PT, 89 OVR – Offensive Threat
  4. J.J. Redick (New Orleans Pelicans) – 91 3PT, 79 OVR – Sharpshooter
  5. Marcus Morris Sr (New York Knicks) – 90 3PT, 80 OVR – 3Pt Specialist
  6. Meyers Leonard (Miami Heat) – 90 3PT, 75 OVR – Stretch Five
  7. OG Anunoby (Toronto Raptors) – 90 3PT, 80 OVR – 3PT Specialist
  8. Rodney Hood (Portland Trail Blazers) – 90 3PT, 77 OVR – Sharpshooter
  9. Davis Bertans (Washington Wizards) – 89 3PT, 77 OVR – Stretch Four
  10. George Hill (Milwaukee Bucks) – 90 3PT, 79 OVR – Shot Creator

It’s no surprise that “Splash Brothers” Steph Curry and Klay Thompson top the list. After all, Golden State are the ones who started this trend, winning multiple championships with this formula. Steph Curry’s 99 3PT rating leads NBA 2K20, but the drop off to Klay Thompson or even Trae Young isn’t too bad.

If you’re looking to make a trade, going for Pelicans SG J.J. Redick might be a good option. He’s a 79 overall rating, but a 91 3PT rating. And at 35-years-old, you might be able to get him for relatively little in return.

If you’re looking for players with high overall ratings who also excel at 3-point shooting, then we’ve got players like James Harden or rising star Luka Doncic. These are some of the best-rated players overall with fairly high three-point shooting.

  1. James Harden (Houston Rockets) – 83 3PT, 97 OVR
  2. Kevin Durant (Brooklyn Nets) – 86 3PT, 96 OVR
  3. Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks) – 84 3PT, 96 OVR
  4. Paul George (L.A. Clippers) – 83 3PT, 93 OVR
  5. Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers) – 84 3PT, 92 OVR
  6. Karl-Anthony Towns (Minnesota Timberwolves) – 86 3PT. 91 OVR

Personally, if I’m going to build a team, it’s going to be around Luka Doncic. The Mavericks phenom is just 20-years-old and is averaging 30.3 points and 9.2 assists per game. He started the season rated 87 overall and is now among the top-five players in NBA 2K20.

If you’re looking for mid-tier players who specialize in three-point shooting, you may want to go with someone like Miami Heat rookie Tyler Herro (84 3PT, 76 OVR) or Charlotte Hornets rookie P.J. Washington (87 3PT, 78 OVR). These guys are nice role-fillers.
