Why One Warrior Will Be in Three Point Contest

The Warriors have one of the best rosters in the NBA for three point shooting. It's like they're the new Orlando Magic. They have so many players that can easily get it going and score 20 points in one half. It's not far-fetched to say that the Warriors will have at least one player in the three point contest this year.

Let's take a look at it.

1. Klay Thompson: He is by far the Warriors most ideal option to be in the Three Point Contest. That's not up to the Warriors of course. Thompson lives for the three point shot. Every time he's open, it's almost a surprise when he misses. I recall one even where Thompson had Blake Griffin on a switch- Usually guards drive the center's to the basket. Klay pulled up for a 30 foot three pointer. Bottom of the net - effortless. I think that that says enough for my argument.

2. Stephen Curry: Curry is the purest shooter I've ever seen. He has a quick release as well. This is why he's also ideal for the contest. He should be able to finish with abundant time. Curry did very well in his rookie season in the Three Point Contest. Unfortunately he was edged by veteran Paul Pierce for the award. Curry should definitely be in the contest again.

3. Brandon Rush: Rush is the least ideal out of these three player, mainly because his shot doesn't go off too quickly. At one point in the season, 4 games in, Brandon Rush was shooting 100% on three pointers. He kept his hot streak alive and finished slightly below 50%. Rush of course is a serious threat from the outside. He just makes the shot at the right time. In the Three Point Contest, every time is the right time.
