1. Kyle Korver

Points per game (as a Hawk): 11.0

3-point field goals (as a Hawk): 753 (and counting)

3-PT FG% (as a Hawk): 45.6%

Who else did you expect? Threezus has been blazing nets in Phillips Arena since a late summer trade sent him from Chicago to Atlanta in 2012.

His shooting was the talk of the town during the 2014-15 season, when he shot a legendary 49.2 percent from behind the arc. Korver was even voted in as an All-Star replacement player by the coaches. Korver shot so well that season that fans were dissapointed when Korver shot a “low” 39.8 percent from three-point range.

The Creighton standout is also one of the league’s best free-throw shooters, shooting a phenomenal 88.7 percent while playing for the Hawks.

Korver is not only the greatest shooter in Atlanta Hawks history, but he also will go down in NBA history as one of, if not the greatest, the most dominant catch-and-shoot specialists to ever play the game.
