This graph shows 3 point makes per 36 minutes and attempts per 36 minutes for players who are in the top 15% of 3 point field goal attempts per 36 and the top 25% of 3 point field goal makes overall.

Some notes:

Steph Curry is still on another planet from everybody else
Isaiah Joe and Sam Hauser are the best 3 point specialists in the league so far
Luka and Laurie are shooting a lot, and well
Tim Hardaway Jr, Buddy Hield and Bogdan Bogdanovic have shot a lot of volume without a lot of success so far this season
the Nets should probably find a way to get Lonnie Walker more shots if he's going to be this efficient
Last season Dame was about where Luka is on this graph, wonder if he'll pick up the 3 point volume or stay at a lower clip this year

This is great work and you've built a really cool visualization tool. If it sucked, nearly nobody would bother commenting at all.

There's value in getting stuff out there for people to react to, and then you can iterate on the good recommendations - which you've done. The downside to reddit is that the tone is a lot less considerate than in a work environment as an example.
