PF: Vladimir Radmanovic (40.0%)

Here is a fun fact that you can ask your friends during a quarantine Zoom trivia session: Vladimir Radmanovic has the highest three-point percentage in Los Angeles Lakers history among players with at least 155 three-point attempts.

Radmanovic has 488 three-point attempts in the purple and gold. Is Radmanovic the best three-point shooter in Lakers’ history? Not at all. But is he the most efficient three-point shooter in Lakers history? Well, the numbers would say that yes, he is.

Radmanovic played for the Lakers for two and a half seasons and was traded in the year that the Lakers went on to win the NBA Title for Shannon Brown and Adam Morrison.

Radmanovic got decent playing time with the Lakers as well. He averaged 19.5 minutes per game in the purple and gold with 7.1 points and 2.9 three-point attempts per game.

Radmanovic was decent in the playoffs as well. He shot 37.2 percent in the playoffs as a Laker while scoring eight points in his 22.9 minutes per game. He scored in double figures in eight of his 21 playoff games with the Lakers.
