Bryn Forbes has developed a reputation as a pure three-point shooting specialist in the NBA. Almost 75% of his field-goal attempts during his five-season career have come from beyond the arc. Forbes has converted 41.2% of his three-point shots from the deep, doing so on 4.3 attempts per game.

Like Danny Green, Forbes isn't a frequent visitor to the free-throw line. In his limited trips to the foul line, he has converted around 79.5% of his attempts. It's the third-lowest in the NBA among three-point shooters who have converted at least 40% shots from beyond the arc on a minimum of four attempts per game.


#2 Joe Harris

Joe Harris has been one of the top three-point specialists in the NBA for the last four seasons. The Brooklyn Nets forward is highly efficient from long range, having converted 43.8% three-pointers on 4.8 attempts per game during his career. The sharpshooter has converted 77.9% of his free-throw attempts.

Harris' free-throw shooting isn't one of his best traits. Except for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons, he has never averaged more than 80% from the free-throw line during his seven-season career.


#1 Joe Ingles

Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles is one of the most versatile forwards in the NBA. The Australian has shot 41.4% from the three-point line in his career, doing so on 4.4 attempts per contest.

He attempts nearly 80% of his field goals from beyond the arc. Ingles is coming off a career-high season in the league. He averaged 12.1 points on 48.9% shooting from the field, including 45.1% from beyond the arc.

Ingles' free-throw shooting hasn't been great since the start of his career, though. He has had just one season where he shot over 80% from the foul line. Ingles has made 76.7% of his shots from the free-throw line in his seven-season career. Nevertheless, he converted a career-high 84.4% of his shots from the foul line during the last NBA campaign.
