Where does Collin Gillespie rank among the best three-point shooters in Phoenix Suns history?

On the surface, the argument feels simple that no one in Suns history has ever made more threes in a season. But greatness, especially in Phoenix, has never been measured by volume alone.

Where does Collin Gillespie rank among the best Phoenix Suns three-point shooters?

Devin Booker owns the franchise’s all-time three-point record and pairs it with longevity, playoff moments, and a résumé that includes a three-point contest crown. Booker represents sustained elite production, the standard Gillespie is now chasing. Then there’s Steve Nash, whose 43.5% three-point efficiency remains the gold standard for the Suns franchise. Nash didn’t just make his shots; he weaponized spacing before it defined modern basketball. His impact transcends numbers, shaping how the game is played today. In the same era, Quentin Richardson embodied the early evolution of the three-point specialist with volume, confidence, and range that stretched defenses in different ways.

Gillespie’s case is different. His 227 threes aren’t just a record; they’re a reflection of the modern NBA’s math, where efficiency meets opportunity. But one season, even a historic one, doesn’t eclipse years of excellence. For Suns fans, that’s where the debate lives: spark vs. legacy. But to keep climbing the rankings, he’ll need more than one season. Although having a franchise-breaking record shows Gillespie is heading down the right path, and that’s exactly why this conversation is just getting started.
