Number of three-pointers Aaron Gordon has made

Playing at a forward position, Gordon has the flexibility to play near the paint area and also operate from the wings. His style of play widely suggests that he operates more in the paint area, but the star is also very comfortable in wing offense.

While shooting from beyond the arc, the 27-year-old star has drained a total of 647 shots till now. He has an efficiency of just around 34.5% in the regular season and an impressive 39.1% in the playoffs, knocking down one of every three attempts for his team. Aaron Gordon had similar shooting percentages during his college days.

With his 1oth season in the league behind him, Aaron Gordon has played for two different teams. Drafted by Orlando Magic in 2014, Gordon played for 6 full seasons with the team. Gordon played an important role in the Magic’s success, shooting above 43% from the field every season. He made the most long-range attempts (125) in his rookie season and also recorded career-high 37.5% efficiency in his last year with the Orlando team.

He was then traded to the Denver Nuggets in the 2021 midseason and continued his paint dominance. But his shooting percentage saw a bit of improvement with playmakers like Murray and Jokic around him. His role in the Nuggets restricted him from taking more long-range shots. Even then, Gordon averages a healthy 4 attempts per game for the Nuggets. Gordon maintained his 30% efficiency with the Nuggets and played well in his 1st NBA finals.

Gordon has made a maximum of 7 three-pointers playing for the Magic against Brooklyn Net on March 19th, 2021. He was later traded to the Nuggets in just 3 days period.
