Why the Warriors invested in shooting

Around the league, the Golden State Warriors are perhaps known best for their amazing shooting. Their starting backcourt, dubbed the “Splash Brothers,” features Stephen Curry, probably the best shooter of all time, and Klay Thompson, who is not far behind.

When Kevin Durant decided to join the Splash Brothers last summer, the Warriors added another one of the league’s best shooters. A career 38% three-point shooter (though on a high number of attempts), Durant may not be as consistent a spot-up shooter as Curry or Thompson, but his arsenal of offensive moves in the midrange and off the dribble is practically unparalleled.
