During Korver's all-star season with the Hawks, he shot an insane 49.2% on 6 attempts per game over 75 games. Similarly, Redick shot 47.5% on 5.6 attempts per over 75 games and Joe Harris' 20-21 shot 47.5% on 6.4 attempts over 69 games.

Other seasons to consider:

Novak 11-12: 47.2%, 5.2 attempts despite only 19 minutes per game, 54 games

A couple shoutouts to guys who had standout volume/efficiency for the era:

2003-04 Peja Stojakovic. At the time, for the standard 3pt line (not shortened like '95-'97), his 240 3s made was the most in a season and 43.3% was barely behind the Ray Allen season mentioned in the OP for highest 3P% with 200+ made. And he put up that career-high efficiency while being thrust into the #1 scorer role due to Webber's injury.

1988-89 Dale Ellis. He wasn't the only player to surpass the previous 3pm record that year, but it took Michael Adams nearly 130 more attempts to make only 4 more. Ellis shot 47.8% from downtown on just over 4 attempts per game while putting up a career high 27.5ppg.

And just a little fun fact: In 1983-84, Darrell Griffith made 91 3s for the Jazz. No other team in the league made 80+.

The idea of a player scoring almost 28ppg, hitting almost 48% from 3, yet only taking FOUR 3pointers a game is so wild to me
