2. Derek Fisher

Throughout his career, Fisher was one of the most reliable 3-point shooters in the league.

As the No. 2 shooter in Lakers history, Fisher made 846 3-pointers while suiting up for the purple and gold. He has the highest career 3-point percentage among the top five shooters in franchise history, hitting at a 37.4% clip.

Fisher played for the Lakers in two different stints, with the first one going for eight seasons from 1996-97 to 2003-04. The other went from the 2007-08 season to 2011-12.

As a key role player during his career, Fisher’s 3-point shot was an important part of his game; he shot 36.8% of his field goals from deep. Stats in this category aren’t available for the first four seasons of Fisher’s career; shot location stats weren’t kept until the 2000-01 season.
