Clay talks about the top five active NBA shooters: Curry is on the list, Durant is also on the list

In the NBA, the role of shooters is very important to the team. After all, long-distance shooting can help the team open the game. If the team does not have a shooter, they will almost not go far. Recently, Klay Thompson talked about the top five active NBA shooters. Let’s take a look at who they are!

5: Booker

Booker is actually a player famous for his shooting. As long as he can get high scores, he basically shoots on the court. As long as he can find the shooting feeling, no player can defend him. After all, Booker is the first person among active NBA players to score 70 points. His pull-up jump shot is accurate and stable, and when he feels, he makes a series of hits.

In the 20-21 season, Booker averaged 25.6 points per game, helping the Suns reach the finals after many years. Unfortunately, the team lost to the Bucks in the end and missed the championship. However, since that season, Booker has become the best among the new players in the league. His shooting ability can be said to be top-notch, especially his second-stage shooting posture, which also makes him rarely disturbed by the opponent when shooting. This is the biggest reason why his shooting ability is top-notch.

4: Doncic

Doncic is also a top scorer in the league. I believe that fans who have watched Doncic's game know that as long as he finds his feel, all kinds of unreasonable three-pointers will be a series of hits, and he is also very good at playing small and big. On the court, he can always find the center of the opponent's poor footsteps for singles, and then he can use his own rhythm to find shooting space. Some fans even say that the opponent's center is Doncic's three-point shooting scope. We all know Doncic's crazy scoring performance in the 23-24 season. As long as he finds his feel, double-teaming will not limit him to throw the ball into the basket. Moreover, Doncic not only has the ability to shoot, but he can choose his offensive strategy based on the opponent's defensive situation, so the opponent dare not double-team easily. His passing can always accurately find teammates with the best chance of scoring.

3: Clay

In this list of top five scorers, Clay also chose himself. After all, everyone is very clear about his unsolvable shooting ability at the Warriors. No one can break his 14 three-pointers in a single game. Sometimes fans see Clay receive the ball, even more at ease than in Curry's hands. His three-point shooting ability is a historical level. Moreover, Clay's biggest feature is that he does not need the ball rights. After receiving the ball, he does not need to dribble and adjust to make three-pointers. This is also his biggest advantage in the Warriors.

, and Clay also has good defensive ability. He was also the top 3D player in the league at that time. He had defense and shooting, and did not occupy the ball rights. This is the most perfect appearance of a 3D player. Unfortunately, he left the Warriors later and left the place where he won four championships.

2: Durant

Durant's shooting ability needs no more. His shooting stability can be said to be historically level. He is not as high as him, he is not as fast as him, and he is not as fast as him, and he is not as fast as him, and he is not as accurate as him. This is the key to Durant's scoring champion four times, and it is also the core of his ability to return to the peak after an Achilles tendon injury. After all, his offensive methods are too rich. Now, even Durant still has very difficult shots at the end of his career. This is why he can become the eighth-ranked 30,000-pointer in NBA history.

And Adu is also a two-time champion and two-time FMVP winner, and he doesn't lack anything in honor. Clay, who has been a teammate with Adu, naturally knows how strong his ability is, so it's no problem for him to put Durant on the list.

1: Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history. This is also the most suspenseless thing. After all, Curry is a player who has accelerated the NBA's entry into the small ball era with his own strength. His three-point shots are fast and accurate, almost with a raise of his hand. If the defensive player is a little distracted, Curry can find a moment of opportunity to complete the shooting. Curry scored 402 three-pointers in a single season in the 15-16 season, which is the best proof. He won the unanimous MVP without any suspense that year.

Curry is now the NBA three-pointer before he retires, and he is still setting this record. If no stronger players appear in the future, then this record will almost be blocked.
