NBA 2017-18: Top 10 3-Point Shooters for the Season so far

Oklahoma City Thunder v Golden State Warriors
Klay Thompson or Paul George: Who's No. 1?

#6 Al Horford - Boston Celtics

Cleveland Cavaliers v Boston Celtics
Al Horford

Stats: 43.6% shooting on 3.3 attempts (54 games)

Al Horford is in his 11th season in the league but this is only his third season where he has attempted more three-pointers than the league average. He chooses his shots wisely and thus makes them at a high clip. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that he's the tallest player on this list.

Him being a long-range threat allows him to suck the defense towards him. In addition to that, he's a good passer off the dribble which makes it easy for him to dish it out to the open man. His playing style has him as a critical part of the Boston Celtics' offense.

This is obviously in hindsight but would Horford have been on this list if Gordon Hayward was not injured? Would he have got enough shots to cross the league average benchmark?

We will never know.
