Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard are both renowned for their three-point shooting abilities in the NBA, but a closer look at their performance during the 2023-24 season reveals contrasting results.

Stephen Curry:

Curry is averaging 11.8 three-point attempts per game, the second-highest mark of his career.

He boasts an impressive 41% conversion rate from beyond the arc and leads the league with an average of 4.8 three-point makes per game.

Particularly proficient from the corner, Curry has converted 47.6% of his attempts from 20-24 feet and 41.5% from 25-29 feet.

However, his efficiency drops significantly on long-range attempts of 30 feet and beyond, with a conversion rate of only 22.5%.

Damian Lillard:

Since joining the Milwaukee Bucks, Lillard’s scoring output has declined, averaging 8.5 three-point attempts per game, the third-lowest of his career.

Despite fewer attempts, Lillard is struggling with a 34.8% conversion rate from beyond the arc, the second-worst of his career when averaging at least seven attempts per game.

He has been inefficient from various ranges, converting only 32.7% from 24 feet, 35.5% from 25-29 feet, and 30.8% from 30 feet and beyond.

Overall, Curry has demonstrated superior three-point shooting prowess compared to Lillard during the 2023-24 season. Despite shouldering a significant workload on a struggling team, Curry’s efficiency remains high, while Lillard has faced challenges adjusting to a new team dynamic in Milwaukee. This season, Curry’s performance clearly outshines Lillard’s in the realm of long-distance shooting.
