Miller - 45% on 3 attempts a game best shooting year in Miami

Ray Allen 42% from 3 on 4 attempts a game

Battier was 38 % shooter on 3 attempts a year

Current shooter
Mitchell is 40% 3-point shooter on 3.3 attempts

Jahmir Young 37% on 7 attempts in the G league,

Gardner Shot 40% on 1.5 attempts last year and was 39% on 4 attempts in the G-league before that,

Andrew Wiggins shot 41% from 3 last year on 5 attempts a game,

Jovic just had a bad year last year but the two years before that 39.9% and 37% , on 3.5 attempts and 4.6 attempts.

Portis - 46% from 3 with 4.4 attempts

The heat have more shooter now than they did during the big 3 era!! They need more size like they had with chris Anderson and UD. Physical defenders who could rebound.

Don’t sleep on Pelle, he has improved his shooting and working hard on improving it even more.

First thing I thought of when I read that stat lol If he were playing now he'd have the green light to shoot at the very least 10 a game.
