The 3-pointer isn’t just part of the game anymore — it is the game. In 2024-25, more players than ever launched from deep, with 139 players hitting at least 100 triples — a massive leap from just seven in 2000. It’s officially a shooter’s league, and this year’s leaderboard proved it with a mix of familiar legends and surprising new faces.
Here’s a look at the top 10 deep threats in total 3-pointers made this season — ranked and ready.
1. Anthony Edwards — 320 3PM (Timberwolves)
Age: 23 | Games Played: 78
The new king of the arc. Edwards closed the season with a 43-point explosion, hitting seven triples to edge into first place — by just one 3-pointer. It’s the first time he’s cracked 300 in a season, and at just 23, it probably won’t be the last.
2. Malik Beasley — 319 3PM (Pistons)
Age: 28 | Games Played: 82
The Pistons shocked everyone, and Beasley was a major reason why. He played every game and made the most of his minutes, drilling 3.9 triples a night despite averaging under 30 minutes. Volume, efficiency, and durability — fantasy gold.
3. Stephen Curry — 311 3PM (Warriors)
Age: 37 | Games Played: 70
What’s left to say? Curry’s still rewriting the record books. He passed 4,000 career 3s this year and has now topped 300 in a season six times — no one else has done it more than once.
4. Derrick White — 265 3PM (Celtics)
Age: 30 | Games Played: 75
From a defensive role player to a 3-point machine, White’s rise has been wild. He shot 38% from deep while filling the stat sheet across the board. Quietly one of Boston’s most important pieces all year.
5. Payton Pritchard — 255 3PM (Celtics)
Age: 26 | Games Played: 79
Bench players rarely show up in leaderboards like this — but Pritchard isn’t your average reserve. He shot a scorching 41% from deep while dropping nearly four triples a game in just 28 minutes. Sixth Man of the Year? Absolutely in the mix
6. Tyler Herro — 251 3PM (Heat)
Age: 25 | Games Played: 72
No Jimmy, no problem. Herro stepped into a starring role and put up career highs across the board, including from downtown. With 23.9 PPG and 5.5 APG, this was his breakout moment as Miami’s offensive engine.
7. Jayson Tatum — 250 3PM (Celtics)
Age: 26 | Games Played: 76
The Celtics had three players on this list. Let that sink in. Tatum remained the team’s anchor, and his 3-point growth adds another layer to an already elite all-around game. Career-best deep shooting in a career-best season.
8. Zach LaVine — 239 3PM (Kings)
Age: 29 | Games Played: 74
LaVine adjusted quickly after a midseason move to Sacramento. His 3-point volume stayed strong, and he quietly set a new career high in makes. He may be known for dunks, but don’t sleep on his outside stroke.
T9. James Harden — 235 3PM (Clippers)
Age: 35 | Games Played: 71
A return to form for the vet. Harden’s all-around game remained elite, and his long-range consistency never faded. He’s now second all-time in made 3s with 3,175 — and still going strong.
T9. Jordan Poole — 235 3PM (Wizards)
Age: 25 | Games Played: 77
Say what you want about the Wizards, but Poole showed out. He set new personal bests in points, assists, and — you guessed it — 3s. The volume shooter label sticks, but the growth is real.
Final Takeaways:
- 3 of the top 7 shooters were Celtics.
- Every player in the top 10 hit over 230 3s.
- Two bench players cracked the top 5 (Beasley, Pritchard).
- Curry remains dominant, but the new wave is here.
This list isn’t just a stat sheet — it’s a snapshot of how the league keeps evolving. And if you’re a fantasy manager? You’d better start targeting 3-point volume like your title depends on it — because it probably does.
