No. 4: Davis Bertans

Davis Bertans is perhaps one of the most predictable names on this list. One of the most confident three-point shooters in recent Wizards history, Bertans got shots up with no regard. In the 2019-20 season, Bertans took 8.7 threes in only 29 minutes per game. Even more impressively, he made 42.4% on a very tough diet of threes.

This incredible shooting performance earned him a contract that the Wizards fans don’t remember so fondly. Following this breakout season where he averaged over 15 points per game, and proving himself as one of the best stretch power forwards in the game, Bertans got a 5-year, $80 million contract from the Wizards.

Unfortunately for Washington, that was the high watermark in Bertans’ career. After that lucrative contract, Bertans failed to keep up the same level of shooting before getting traded to the Dallas Mavericks in the 2021-22 season.

However, the Latvian Laser remains as one of the best shooters in Washington Wizards history, standing at 39.8% accuracy on over 7 attempts per game. That combination of volume and accuracy are difficult to find, especially from a 6’10 power forward. His size, length, and high release made his shot impossible to guard.
