I remember back when a guy who shot 37% from three was considered to be a rifleman, and 35% was certainly good enough. Those were the days. Then came Dirk, Steph (especially), KAT, Durant… Now 40% is the expectation for a perimeter starter to not draw criticism, and 42+ is necessary to be considered a top shooter.

For sure! I’d argue that attempts/3PAr is probably more important than percentage in this new NBA world.
