No. 1: Mike Miller

Just like the previous name on this list, Mike Miller is another long-term NBA player who is more remembered for his contributions to other teams. A two-time NBA champion, Rookie of the Year, and a Sixth Man of the Year, Miller had a decorated NBA career. He is remembered for his dead-eye three-point accuracy on the Miami Heat championship teams, but his best shooting season actually came as a member of the Washington Wizards.

In the beginning of the 2009-10 season, Mike Miller was traded to the Wizards, alongside Randy Foye from the Minnesota Timberwolves. In the chaotic and disappointing season for Washington, Miller was one of the bright stars of the season. The 29-year-old swingman made a whopping 48% of his threes, ranking second in the entire league.

This shooting performance drew the attention of the Miami Heat, who signed him next offseason. Miller continued his elite shooting in Miami, regularly hitting over 40% from downtown. He finished his 17-year career with an overall three-point percentage of 40.7, yet he never came close to his season with the Wizards.

His time in Washington may not be Miller is remembered for, but his 48% accuracy from behind the three-point line may not be beaten for a long time. Until then, he remains as the most accurate sharpshooter in Wizards history.
