Are EuroLeague players better at shooting three-pointers compared to NBA players?

When it comes to three-point shooting, there are differences between EuroLeague and NBA players. EuroLeague players tend to take more three-point shots per game than NBA players, but their overall shooting percentage is lower.

In the 2020-2021 EuroLeague season, the average three-point shooting percentage was 36.2%. In the same season, the average three-point shooting percentage in the NBA was 36.5%. This suggests that there is not a significant difference in three-point shooting ability between EuroLeague and NBA players.

However, it's worth noting that there are differences in the way the game is played in Europe and the United States. The NBA has a shorter three-point line (22 feet in the corners and 23.75 feet elsewhere) compared to the EuroLeague (22.15 feet). This means that NBA players have slightly more space to shoot from beyond the arc.

In conclusion, there is no clear evidence to suggest that EuroLeague players are better at shooting three-pointers compared to NBA players. Both leagues have skilled shooters who are capable of making shots from beyond the arc.
