Remaining at No. 1 with a 43.9 % profession mark is former two-year Duke basketball guard and 2017 lottery choose Luke Kennard. The 28-year-old, now locked in for an additional yr with the Memphis Grizzlies, completed No. 2 behind Phoenix Suns guard and 2015 Blue Satan nationwide champion Grayson Allen in 3-point share final season.
But it surely’s not Allen who now replaces Joe Harris (43.6 %) at No. 2 on the energetic profession record. No, that honor belongs to the second-oldest energetic NBA Blue Satan in 33-year-old Charlotte Hornets guard Seth Curry along with his 43.1 %, one notch above the 42.6 % that his Olympic hero brother, Steph Curry, boasts.
Seth Curry, who went undrafted in 2013, just lately signed a one-year contract with the Hornets for what would be the sharpshooting journeyman’s twelfth season within the league.
