The 3 Best Three-Point Shooters in the 2016 NBA Draft

Bryn Forbes, Michigan State Spartans

It certainly must come as a surprise to most (including me) that the amazing Buddy Hield isn't the single best sharpshooter in this year's draft class, but it's true. The lesser-known Bryn Forbes put up even better numbers than Hield in his final season under Tom Izzo in East Lansing.

The senior guard shot 48.1% from three, amounting to a True Shooting Percentage (which takes into account two-pointers, three-pointers, and free throws) of 66.7% and an Effective Field Goal Percentage (adjusts for the fact that a three-point shot is worth more than a two-point shot) of 64.4%. Both metrics place Forbes within the top-15 among all NCAA players.

And how he managed that? It's pretty straightforward.

Don't get me wrong -- Forbes isn't as complete a player as a Buddy Hield. Not by a long shot. For that reason, he's unlikely to be drafted and will have to hope for the opportunity to work his way into a contract with a team as a specialist from beyond the arc.

If you're looking for an equivalent NBA pro, look no further than Oklahoma City's Anthony Morrow, who went undrafted in the 2008 draft.
