With the signing of Buddy Hield, the Warriors have acquired a powerful duo in terms of 3-point shooting. If the men lie, the numbers do not, which clearly indicate that over the last five NBA seasons, Steph and Buddy have made the highest volume of shots from the bar.
One Klay Thompson lost, one found? No, it would be both insulting to everything Klay accomplished in Golden State and disrespectful to Buddy Hield to be treated like a spare tire. The Warriors have, however, managed to assemble the two greatest 3-point shooters of the last five years in Stephen Curry and Buddy Hield, with no fewer than 1,600 made each between 2019 and 2024.
Players who have scored the most three points since 2019:
*Stephen Curry – 1618
*Buddy Hield – 1600
Damian Lillard – 1338
James Harden – 1293
Luka Doncic – 1201

On paper, such an arrival greatly facilitates the future for the Warriors, who have a new profile very comfortable behind the arc and therefore in line with the style of play currently practiced in Golden State. It remains to be seen how the distribution of shots will be carried out, because two such big shooters put side by side will necessarily have to give up some tickets in favor of the other. Stephen Curry will of course remain the number 1 in the hierarchy, but it will be necessary to adapt so that everyone can express themselves at the height of their talent.
