Bball-Index’s [definition](https://www.bball-index.com/glossary/) for their 3PT Shotmaking Talent is as follows:

> **3PT SHOOTING TALENT GRADE**
>
> This metric is made up of a combination of our 3PT Shot Making, 3PTShot Quality, and 3 PT Shot Creation. It also accounts for volume to regress down smaller samples. This seeks to capture how well of a 3-point shooter a player is in a neutral environment.
>
> For example, Will Barton and TJ Warren have the same exact 3PT% but very different Perimeter Shooting grades (A- for Barton, D+ for Warren). Barton is achieving his 3PT% on a higher degree of difficulty (looking at his 3 PT Shot Quality), thus has a higher Shot Making rating. He’s also creating 3-point looks at a far higher rate than Warren (A vs F ratings in 3PT Shot Creation). Those two factors combined result in Barton having an A- while Warren has a D+, and would tell us that Barton is the more talented 3-point shooter (that should perform better in a neutral environment).
