Last season, D’Angelo Russell set the Nets franchise record for 3-pointers made in a single season with 234. However, he was not Brooklyn’s most efficient long-range shooter in 2018-19.
That honor belongs to Joe Harris.
While the Brooklyn shooting guard made 51 fewer 3-pointers than his former teammate, Harris shot 47.4% from long range — leading the entire NBA.
This season, Harris isn’t shooting quite as well from deep, but he still entered Sunday’s matchup against the Washington Wizards shooting over 40% from deep (41.1), draining 154 of his 375 3-point attempts in 2019-20.
Entering Sunday’s game, Harris’ 154 threes put him at eighth-most threes made in a single-season in Nets franchise history. Fast-forward to the third quarter against the Wizards and Harris had knocked down three 3-pointers — surpassing Vince Carter (156) for seventh all-time for most 3-pointers made in a single-season.
Up next for Harris is Kerry Kittles, who made 158 shots from beyond the arc in 1996-97 for the New Jersey Nets.
