The 2026 WNBA season has been full of magnificent shots, and it’s hard to ignore the good basketball happening. Players are lighting it up from 3-point range and deserve recognition for their on-court efforts.

With this in mind, USA TODAY has compiled a list of some of the top 3-point shooters across the league. For context and clarity, players listed were considered based on the volume and efficiency of their 3-point shots in 2026, plus the team dynamics and responsibilities which vary from franchise to franchise.

We’re breaking down every team’s top shooter in this week’s WNBA power rankings, released every Tuesday:

1. Minnesota Lynx (27-7)

Previous rank: 1 (⬌)

Best 3-point shooter: G Kayla McBride

McBride has rightfully earned the nickname “Kayla McBuckets” for her sheer ability to drain shots at any time. The Lynx guard is currently fifth all-time in WNBA history in made 3-pointers (822). She also owns a new league record for most 3-pointers in a single game (10) in a win over Dallas on Sunday, 103-90.

2. Golden State Valkyries (23-9)

Previous rank: 2 (⬌)

Best 3-point shooter: F Janelle Salaün

Salaün is shooting nearly 40% from deep this season (39.8), a career-high achievement for the Valkyries forward who has eight games with at least four made 3-pointers this season.

3. Washington Mystics (19-12)

Previous rank: 7 (⬆4)

Best 3-point shooter: G Sonia Citron

Citron’s game isn’t typically as flashy as others in the league, but it’s every bit as good. While Citron is not shooting her best from 3-point range (30.4%) this year, she’s still a go-to player when Washington needs a big basket; the Mystics usually turn to Citron, who comes up huge.

4. Las Vegas Aces (22-11)

Previous rank: 3 (⬇1)

Best 3-point shooter: G Jackie Young

It was hard not to select Chelsea Gray for this slot because Gray’s having an underrated 2026, shooting 39.6% behind the line with 61 made shots. However, Young is still shooting 37.9% from downtown this season, with 67 made 3-point baskets and 17 games of shooting 40% or better from deep.

5. Indiana Fever (20-12)

Previous rank: 6 (⬆1)

Best 3-point shooter: G Kelsey Mitchell

Blink, and you might miss Mitchell’s incredible quick release and rainbow-arching triples. The Fever guard, who is sixth in WNBA history in made 3-balls (762), is cooking with gas. Mitchell’s fourth in the league in made 3-pointers this season, connecting on 93 triples while shooting 43.5%.

6. Atlanta Dream (19-12)

Previous rank: 4 (⬇2)

Best 3-point shooter: G Rhyne Howard

It’s always “Rhy Time” in Atlanta. Howard leads the WNBA in 3-pointers made per game (3.3). When she gets on a heater, look out. The Dream guard has two career games with nine made 3-pointers (June 13, 2025 and September 5, 2025) and 15 games in 2026 with four 3-pointers or more.

7. New York Liberty (20-13)

Previous rank: 8 (⬆1)

Best 3-point shooter: G Marine Johannes

Johannes has one of the most unconventional releases in the WNBA. At times, it’s a one-legged off-balance shot, and somehow it works. The Liberty guard is 10th in the league in made 3-pointers per game (2.2) and tied for eighth in made baskets from deep (67).

8. Chicago Sky (12-20)

Previous rank: 9 (⬆1)

Best 3-point shooter: G Sydney Taylor

Taylor, an undrafted rookie, is one of the best recent signings to come out of training camp. She now ranks top 15 in made 3-pointers (59) and even banked a last-second game-winning triple on August 1 to stun defending champion Las Vegas, 84-83.

9. Dallas Wings (19-14)

Previous rank: 5 (⬇4)

Best 3-point shooter: G Azzi Fudd

There was no way to make this list without having Fudd, who became the first rookie to ever win the WNBA All-Star 3-point shooting contest this year. The Wings guard cranks out 2.1 3-pointers per game and is averaging 39.7% from beyond the line in her debut season.

10. Portland Fire (13-19)

Previous rank: 12 (⬆2)

Best 3-point shooter: F Bridget Carleton

Carleton is a wonderful 3-point shooter who has nearly perfected the art of the corner triple. It’s her signature shot. The Fire forward ranks fifth in total made 3-pointers (90) and triples per game (2.9).

11. Los Angeles Sparks (12-19)

Previous rank: 11 (⬌)

Best 3-point shooter: F Rae Burrell

Burrell is one of those players who can punish teams from deep if they underestimate her. She can drain triples in a variety of ways: step-back, sidestep or a straight pull-up. The Los Angeles forward is shooting 40.7% from 3-point range.

12. Connecticut Sun (8-23)

Previous rank: 14 (⬆2)

Best 3-point shooter: F Kennedy Burke

Burke, who came over to the Sun in the offseason from the Liberty, was shooting a blistering 41.4% from deep in 2025. In 2026, she’s down to 34.9%. However, she can still cash a triple when her name is called. Don’t sleep on Burke.

13. Phoenix Mercury (12-22)

Previous rank: 10 (⬇3)

Best 3-point shooter: G Kelsey Plum

Plum, who arrived via trade to Phoenix on Aug. 2, has only played four games with the team. However, in her debut, she splashed three triples and has continued much of the same 3-point production she had in Los Angeles (38.3%).

14. Toronto Tempo (10-21)

Previous rank: 13 (⬇1)

Best 3-point shooter: G Marina Mabrey

“Money Mabrey” is having quite the season in Toronto. She’s shooting with confidence, and her 3.2 made 3-pointers per game show it. Mabrey has eight games with four or more made shots behind the arc, including two with nine made triples.

15. Seattle Storm (6-28)

Previous rank: 15 (⬌)

Best 3-point shooter: G Natisha Hiedeman

Hiedeman has more on her shoulders after signing with Seattle in the offseason, but even with the increased responsibility, she’s able to cash in from deep. The Storm guard has five games in 2026 with four or more 3-pointers.
