All-Star weekend is almost here! The contestants for the Foot Locker Three-Point Contest have been announced. The participants will be…
J.J. Redick, Los Angeles Clippers. Redick is shooting 48.2% from three-point range this season
Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors. Curry is shooting 45.8% from three-point range this season.
Klay Thompson, Golden State Warriors. Thompson is shooting 43.4% from three-point range this season.
Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns. Booker is shooting 41.8% from three-point range this season.
Khris Middleton, Milwaukee Bucks. Middleton is shooting 41.2 from three-point range this season.
Kyle Lowry, Toronto Raptors. Lowry is shooting 38.8% from three-point range this season.
Chris Bosh, Miami Heat. Bosh is shooting 36.6% from three-point range this season.
James Harden, Houston Rockets. Harden is shooting 34.9% from three-point range this season.
This should be fun. All of these guys are elite shooters, including Harden even if he hasn’t shown it this season. The worst of the bunch is probably Bosh, but he’s a great shooter as well. One would assume that Curry will take home the crown for the second year in a row, but guys like Redick and Thompson will put up a fight.
A few notable snubs:
Kawhi Leonard, who is shooting 47.8% from three-point range this season.
Jared Dudley, who is shooting 45.9% from three-point range this season.
