NBA 2K26: The Best 3-Point Shooters Revealed

The NBA 2K26 ratings rollout continues, and today, 2K Sports revealed the players who will be the most dangerous from beyond the arc when the game launches on September 4.

To almost nobody’s surprise, Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors will certainly take the top spot as he is a generational talent when it comes to shooting (and helped push the NBA style to being more long-distance oriented). But who else joins him on that list?

Here is who NBA 2K26 has revealed to be the best long-distance shooters in the game.

The Best 3-Point Shooters In NBA 2K26

1.) Steph Curry – 99 3PT

Yeah, absolutely no surprise here. Curry remains the gold standard for a 3-point shooter in both real life and in NBA 2K. His perfect 99 means he’ll be the most feared shooter in the game, capable of draining shots from nearly anywhere on the floor.

2.) Kevin Durant – 91 3PT

Now suiting up for the Houston Rockets in this year’s roster update, Kevin Durant’s smooth shot has earned him the second-highest 3-point shooting rating in 2K26. His height and release point should make him incredibly difficult to guard as well.

3.) Klay Thompson – 89 3PT

Curry’s Splash Brother is still among the league’s most potent shooters. While his rating has slightly dipped in recent years, he is still good enough for 2K26 to consider him to be the third-best long-range specialist in the game.

4.) Desmond Bane – 88 3PT

One of the purest young shooters in the NBA, Bane will be moving from the Magic to the Grizzlies this year, where he’ll likely be their go-to threat from deep. His compact form and quick release seamlessly translate to the traditional 2K gameplay.

5.) Isaiah Joe – 88 3PT

A rising name in the sharpshooter conversation, Joe’s performance with the Thunder last season has vaulted him into the top five. His inclusion here might surprise casual fans, but 2K clearly values his efficiency.

6.) Zach LaVine – 87 3PT

Known more for his high-flying dunks, LaVine has quietly become one of the most consistent deep threats in the league. His ability to score off the dribble should make him a versatile weapon in-game.

7.) Grayson Allen – 87 3PT

What is it with guys having the last name Allen and being lethal at shooting? Anyways, Grayson Allen brings a reliable stroke from the corners and wings. While not the flashiest player on this list, his spacing ability is a big asset in both real life and 2K.

8.) Luke Kennard – 87 3PT

Kennard’s catch-and-shoot ability is among the best in the NBA, making him a must-have for players looking to spread the floor in MyTEAM. Let’s see if that ability is good enough to get Atlanta back into the playoffs.

9.) Sam Hauser – 87 3PT

Hauser’s shooting has earned him valuable rotation minutes off the Boston bench, and in NBA 2K26, he’ll be a budget-friendly sniper for players building cap-friendly squads.

10.) Anthony Edwards – 87 3PT

A quickly emerging superstar, Edwards’ improved shooting touch is reflected in his rating. Combine that with his explosiveness, and you’ve got one of the most dynamic players in the game.

These are the best 3-point shooters in NBA 2K26. If you want to know how the game is overhauling its in-game presentation, read this piece we did last week! Also, be sure to check out our article on how 2K is changing the MyPLAYER Builder this year!
