To make it even more interesting, we set the limit at 4 attempts per game. But in order not to wrong the rest of the players – like Kyle Kuric of FC Barcelona, who makes a league-leading 58.5% of his threes – you can see each player’s place on the overall ranking in the bracket next to his three-point percentage.
#10 MARCUS ERIKSSON
ALBA Berlin | Guard | 5 December 1993 | Sweden
In ALBA Berlin’s 81-100 win in Round 28 win over Khimki Moscow Region at Arena Mytishchi, Marcus Eriksson (12.1 points) tied the EuroLeague’s all-time, single-game record for made three-pointers. His 10-for-13 show that night is no coincidence for a player of Eriksson’s talent considering that he ranks seventh in attempts per game and sixth in makes from the arc.

TOTAL: 45/109

#9 KLEMEN PREPELIC
Valencia Basket | Guard | 20 October 1992 | Slovenia
Klemen Prepelic (11.7 points) ranks ninth in the EuroLeague in three-point attempts per game, but with a career-high 41% of them going in, who wouldn’t do the same in his place? He has made 4 of 6 triples in three of Valencia Basket’s games and reached 5 of 13 in the team’s 105-103 overtime win against CSKA Moscow at La Fonteta.

#8 KOSTAS SLOUKAS
Olympiacos Piraeus | Guard | 15 January 1990 | Greece
Kostas Sloukas is one of the top players in the EuroLeague in assists (6.0), but he can set up shots for himself just as easily (11.5 points). He just downed 4 of his 6 three-point tries in Olympiacos Piraeus’s 80-84 win at ALBA’s Mercedes-Benz Arena in Round 30, but he has also reached 5-for-7 accuracy twice.

#7 SASHA VEZENKOV
Olympiacos Piraeus | Forward | 6 August 1995 | Greece
Sasha Vezenkov (10.4 points) scored a career-high 31 points in that same Olympiacos win against ALBA in Round 30, confirming once again that this is the best season of his career. In Berlin, 18 of his points came from Vezenkov hitting 6 of 7 three-pointers with the characteristic high arc he puts on his shot.
