Basketball shooting - NBA leaders

Heading in to the new year and now two months in to the NBA season, I thought it was time to check out who the individual basketball shooting leaders are.

Three-point shooting percentage:
  1. Jared Dudley (Suns) 50.5%
  2. Daniel Gibson (Cavs)48.8%
  3. Paul Pierce (Celtics) 47.3%
  4. Anthony Parker (Cavs) 46.1%
  5. Chris Paul (Hornets) 45.8%
Three-point makes per game:
  1. Danny Granger (Pacers) 3.1
  2. Danilo Gallinari (Knicks) 2.8
  3. Rashard Lewis (Magic) 2.8
  4. Channing Frye (Suns) 2.6
  5. Peja Stojakovic (Hornets) 2.4
Free-throw percentage:
  1. Steve Nash (Suns) 94.2%
  2. Ray Allen (Celtics) 91%
  3. Chauncey Billups (Nuggets) 90.3%
  4. Mo Williams (Cavs) 89.4%
  5. Manu Ginobili (Spurs) 89.3%
I was going to include leaders in field goal percentage, but they're not actually shooting it, the list is made up of big men who are mostly dunking or making put-backs.

I will include the glamour category tho ...

Points per game:
  1. Kobe Bryant (Lakers) 30.6
  2. Carmelo Anthony (Nuggets) 30.0
  3. LeBron James (Cavs) 28.9
  4. Kevin Durant (Thunder) 28.5
  5. Dwayne Wade (Heat) 26.3
