Bojan Bogdanovic was a critical player in the Utah Jazz's run. He shot an incredible 46.1% from beyond the arc on 6.9 attempts a game. One of his highlights was Game 5 against the LA Clippers when he drained 9-17 threes, including 6-7 in the first quarter itself. Bogdanovic attempted a total of 76 threes and made 35 of them. His scoring, however, wasn't as consistent as some of the other players on this list, as he attempted 11 of 17 threes in one game but just 3 of 5 threes in another.

#2 Royce O'Neale

No wonder the Utah Jazz were the best three-point shooting team in the league. Royce O'Neale is the third Jazz player to crack the top five rankings. He was the best perimeter defender on the team and also a knockdown shooter. O'Neale shot at a marvelous 46.7% clip on 5.5 attempts a game. Although his per-game attempts were low, just like Bogdanovic, he attempted 60 threes over the course of the 2021 NBA playoffs. He was shooting lights out in the first-round Memphis series but took a slight dip in the second-round series against the LA Clippers.

#1 Seth Curry

Appropriate for his last name, Seth Curry tops the rankings for the best three-point shooter in the 2021 NBA playoffs. He shot at a ridiculous 50.6% clip in the postseason for the Philadelphia 76ers on 6.8 attempts per game. He attempted an incredible 81 shots in the playoffs and knocked down 41 of them. Curry shot almost 60% in the Hawks semifinal series, which is unheard of for a volume shooter. He recorded back-to-back games with 5+ threes twice in the Hawks series, including Game 5 when he dropped 7-12 threes.
