NBA 2017-18: Top 10 3-point shooters from the regular season

#1 Darren Collison

The 9th-year point guard out of UCLA has quietly compiled the best shooting season of his career. In fact, it is a historic season by any standards - Collison is averaging 12.4 points per game as a tertiary scorer on the Pacers team on 49.5% from the field, 46.8% from 3-point territory and 88.2% from the free-throw line.

If he'd hit a hot streak, Collison could have been just the 8th player in NBA history to put up a 50-40-90 season. Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and Dirk Nowitzki are the only active players to do so (with the usual qualifiers). Collison's 5.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game serve only to add value to a Pacers team that many experts predicted to be in the lottery at the start of the season.

Indiana will be looking to ride on the back of elite shooting from MIP candidate Victor Oladipo, Bojan Bogdanovic and Collison to upstage the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs.
