Durant: Nets' Harris 'right up there' with Steph, Klay as shooter
Kevin Durant played with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson - two of the best shooters in NBA history - and believes one of his Brooklyn Nets teammates is on their level.
"Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are the best shooters I've played with. Joe Harris is definitely right up there, getting there," Durant said on a Twitter Spaces chat with Banksy Gonzalez, according to Michael Scotto of USA Today Sports.
Harris ranks second in the league in 3-point percentage, making a career-high 48.4% of his attempts. Curry has made 40.8% of his threes this year.
Curry is No. 2 in the NBA in made threes this season with 209, behind only Buddy Hield. Harris sits three spots behind with 166.
Durant believes his teammate could reach greater heights.
"The sky is the limit. He could be (as) good as he wants to be," he said of Harris.
Curry is the active leader in made 3-point field goals and ranks second in NBA history, behind Ray Allen. He's seventh all time in career 3-point percentage.
Thompson ranks 20th and 14th in those respective categories despite missing the past two seasons with injuries.
Harris, meanwhile, sits fifth in career 3-point percentage.
