The 8 best three-point shooters in Washington Wizards history
By Cem Yolbulan
No. 2: Scott Skiles
The heady floor-general is usually remembered as a member of the Orlando Magic, and as the current record holder of most assists in a game with a staggering 30. Scott Skiles was an excellent passer and a table-setter, even though he is rarely mentioned as an all-time great point guard. The main reason for that is the fact that he played on awful teams the most of his career. This includes the 1994-95 Washington Bullets.
After acquiring Skiles in the 1994 offseason, the Bullets wanted him to be the leader of their young team that included Juwan Howard and Chris Webber. Despite all three having excellent individual seasons, the team was a complete mess. Being one of the worst defenses in the league, the Bullets had a 21-61 record.
However, Skiles cemented his place on this list thanks to his performance on that team. In 62 games, he made 96 of 228 threes, good for an impressive 42.1% accuracy, easily one of the best marks in the league.
Skiles was a consistent 40% shooter from behind the three-point line. His shooting prowess was overshadowed by his passing ability, but he was the mold of a modern point guard. He single-handedly represents the 90s era Bullets on this list.
