No. 3

Dana Barros

Dana Barros played just two seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers, but had an incredible outside shooting streak in that time. In the ’93-’94 season, his debut season with the team, Barros hit 135 3-pointers on 38.1% shooting. He followed that season up with one of the most historic outside shooting in NBA history.

His astonishing 197 3-pointers on 46.4% shooting led to his first career All-Star appearance and the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award. Barros sits atop the Philadelphia 76ers 3-point percentage leaderboard. The 5′-11 Barros used quickness and simple stepbacks to give him separation, allowing his dagger-like 3-pointers to affect the game more than almost anyone in the ’94-’95 season.

Two seasons might not qualify some other players for this list, but the amount of productivity Barros gave the Philadelphia 76ers in his short time with the team was high enough to put him in the top three of the team’s shooters. If he played more than two seasons in Philly, he might’ve topped the list, but two great seasons doesn’t get you to the top.
