Projecting Best Three-Point Shooters on Phoenix Suns in 2026–27
Sep 8, 2026 12:00 AM

Collin Gillespie’s high-volume accuracy and Dillon Brooks’ aggressive range lead a new-look offensive rotation as Phoenix’s perimeter attack evolves under coach Jordan Ott’s high-pressure system.

The Phoenix Suns are just 44 days away from opening up the 2026-27 season with a tense battle against the Portland Trail Blazers.

There is certainly much excitement for the season ahead, as well as much unease with a number of changes that are now in the fold. 

Among the changes is the decision to bring in Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges via trade. This move leaves a three-point shooting and floor spacing gap in the Suns' roster that wasn't previously around.

Follow which Phoenix stars have a chance to supplement the lost volume/efficiency on paper in the season ahead below.

Collin Gillespie: 215 Made Threes

Gillespie's 2025-26 total of 232 threes knocked down is attainable in the upcoming season. 

The guard has a consistent, compact shooting form. He isn't afraid to tick up volume in different scenarios. Most of all, the Villanova product will take and make shots in various situations, including off of the dribble.

The main reason Gillespie's total comes down in this projection is due to a potential expanded role that rests in playmaking, a greater emphasis on attacking the lane, and other players taking attempts away at times.

Dillon Brooks: 190

Brooks may not be Phoenix's second-best pure shooter, but he is certainly in-line to be amongst the highest volume players on the team again.

The Oregon alum made a career-high 186 three-point looks with the Houston Rockets two seasons ago, which shows that he is capable of approaching 200. The premise of having more space due to Phoenix's roster being injected with athleticism is a strong case that the 190 range is attainable. 

Shooting for 200 total makes might be a bit ambitious, but the Suns need the veteran to step up in order to recoup value that was lost in trading Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale away.

Devin Booker: 185

Booker's career as a three-point shooter is one that is fairly consistent and linear.

The 11-year vet has never connected on less than 111 looks from beyond the arc (since his rookie year), and has never made more than 183 across an entire campaign. 

This season that trend gets bucked, as the Kentucky product begins to balance volume with taking higher quality looks. Expect the potential added rim pressure and another year in an effective offensive system mapped out by Jordan Ott to place Booker closer to the shooter he was several years ago.
