I mean we all know that Korver’s hands do have a few powers in them given the amount of threes he’s converted throughout his career but I honestly don’t think Kyle Korver has super strength like this.Raja Bell is also one of the best in terms of league acting is concerned so he barely makes this list as an honorable mention. 13 overall pick in 2017 before agreeing to trade him for power forward Trey Lyles and the No. He didn’t shy away from shooting from long range, even though he is one of the worst 3-point shooters in NBA history.
