I know Danny Green had a bad start to the season but seems to have picked up over the past month or two :applause:

Kawhi Leonard, but I like to think he's more than that.

Trevor Ariza, Battier when healthy, Avery Bradley. At this point, Igudola is just a 3-D guy. As of now, so is Leonard in SA because they mask his talent, and don't want him taking all the shots yet. Martell Webster, as you said, Danny Green, Patrick Beverley, Courtney Lee, Quincy Pondexter, PJ Tucker, Jared Dudley, Jimmy Butler even though his 3 is lacking a bit.

Kawhi Leonard too, for that matter.
In 3 seasons he's averaging .37% from three, and in March so far he's averaging .52% from beyond the arch!
Since coming back from injury Spurs are now 10-0

Ariza's been great this season. Id love to see him on a contender one more time, especially now that hes really come into his game.

Ariza most definitely is more than just a 3&D guy this year,he's been consistently playing the playmaker role. Although its a contract year so I doubt he remains the same when he signs a new contract

Classic. Thabo hasn't hit shit from three this year. Harden can't play D to save his life. Beverley is streaky at best from three. Green lol. Parsons is the only consistently good D and three shooter there.
Afflalo belongs on any list. Parsons is good, Klay isn't amazing on D, good but not great. Iggy is solid. I kind of feel like a 3 and D guys primarily needs to be an amazing defender, with the ability to put up 40% or close to from three.

Parsons isn't even a good defender. Don't know why people keep saying he is.

I think he's pretty decent, a lot of it is on his length though, which can bother a lot of people.

3 and D to me means that it's their two main skills.
Like Tony Snell.

The only two players who I think are elite in both categories are Green and Sefolosha. Hasn't shot it great this year but hit 40%+ in 2011-13.
Players like Bradley and Leonard, while being as good defensively just don't shoot the 3 well enough to be considered better than Green or Thabo. You need to hit over 40% of your 3's to be in the conversation as the best. Obviously players like Paul George are much more than just 3&D so aren't considered.
