Omri Casspi (Three Point Shooting Contest): Omri Casspi has been a pleasant surprise for Kings fans to see, and one of the biggest reasons why is the sudden emergence in his perimeter shooting. Before entering this season, Casspi highest 3P% for a season was 40.2% (14-15 season). This season he has topped that percentage by shooting a whopping 45.6% from beyond the arc.

Every year the three-point shooting contest has consisted of the NBA’s top shooters, and numbers wise Casspi fits the bill. The 45.6% shooting that he is currently shooting is ranked 4th among players in the league. Because of that, he should, at least, be considered a serious candidate to showcase his ability to hit longball in front of the whole nation to see.
