Shots from downtown are fashionable in the NBA and some players jack them up quite a bit. However, there are those players who are quite effective from long range. These five players have hit the most threes so far this season.
James Harden - Houston Rockets
James Harden has hit more threes than any other player this season, as he keeps racking up high-scoring performances. To date, Harden has knocked down 152 treys for the season.

Stephen Curry - Golden State Warriors
Curry is the man who is considered the most long range and accurate of all three-point shooters. So far, he's hit 133 three-pointers, which is a bit behind Harden's mark. That's only because Steph was out for a stretch with an injury.

Kemba Walker - Charlotte Hornets
For the current season, the new Hornets coach encouraged Kemba Walker to shoot more threes. It seems to be paying off for Kemba, as he's third on this list. Walker has 122 three-pointers so far for the Hornets.

Paul George - Oklahoma City Thunder
The Thunder have to be quite pleased that PG13 decided to stick around in Oklahoma City for more seasons. He's been playing exceptionally well to lead this team to one of the top four records out West. George also has hit 117 three-pointers this season.

Damian Lillard - Portland Trail Blazers
Lillard continues to stay under the radar, as one of the best guards in the NBA today. His current season hasn't been quite as All-Star-worthy as past seasons, but he's fifth overall in threes made. Lillard has racked up 116 for the season in Portland.
