Here's the league's 1s, 2s, and 3s ordered by shooting percentage.  I
did this to get rough approximation of who has the best outside
shooting touch.

Caveats :

Some of the players here take more inside shoots than outside (like
the top three mentioned.)  

I didn't consider anyone whose scoring average was less than 14.  I
also probably should of set a criteria for 3 point attempts (like one
per game.)
