8. Joe Ingles, Utah Jazz

2019-2020 Shooting Stats: 64 games (37 starts), 9.8 PPG, 56.6% effective field goal rate, 39.7% on 4.8 three-point attempts per game

Career Shooting Stats: 470 games (260 starts), 8.2 PPG, 57.3% effective field goal rate, 40.7% on 4.1 three-point attempts per game

Acting as one of the best sixth-men in the NBA for the last five-or-so years, Joe Ingles of the Utah Jazz is a heck of a shooter, even if he’s not a huge fan of the title.

The 32-year-old wing is an overall stout two-way player for Utah, spending all six of his NBA seasons in the city after starting his career playing in Australian and European basketball leagues, plus representing the Australian National Basketball team.

Ingles is a high-character, high-effort contributor for his team. Though he lacks the speed of many of his colleagues, his ability to knock down shots makes him an incredible value for the Jazz, thus making him a highly-appealing target for many teams around the league.

Signing just a one-year, $14 million deal with the Jazz in October of 2019, the team will likely try to find a way to keep one of their key scorers in friendly colors when the free agency window opens up after the season, potentially on an even longer contract.

7. Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards

2019-2020 Shooting Stats: 57 games (57 starts), 30.5 PPG, 52% effective field goal rate, 35.3% on 8.4 three-point attempts per game

Career Shooting Stats: 545 games (511 starts), 21 PPG, 52% effective field goal rate, 38% on 6 three-point attempts per game

Rising in the league and turning just 26-years-old in January, Bradley Beals is the best player for his Washington Wizards and also one of the league’s finest shooters.

Signing a short-term extension to remain with the Wizards this summer, Beal played the leading role for his team without John Wall active, starting to break out as one of the hardest players to stop in the league.

In the midst of his thrilling season, Beal posted 50-plus point outings in on back-to-back nights against the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks (both games losses were for Washington).

Crafty in his selection and hard to predict, Beal leads what’s been a surprisingly potent Wizards offense this season, though his team hasn’t had a tremendous amount of success, sitting 24-40 and ninth in the Eastern Conference standings.

Beal could be headed to a different team this summer on the trade market, but wherever he plays next season, he’s certainly still going to be one of the more dangerous shooters this league has to offer.
