Donyell Marshall was never a big 3-point shooter. He was a good shooter but he didn’t shoot the ball like the likes of Ray Allen or Kyle Korver. 

From his rookie season up until the 2003-04 NBA season, he only averaged 0.7 made three-pointers a game. 

But, for whatever reason, his skillset evolved in the 04-05 season.

The Toronto Raptors may have changed their game plan. Or it could be that Marshall was playing more of an old man game (he turned 31 that year).

I’m not entirely sure why, but Marshall averaged more made threes per game (2.3) than ever before. He also took more per game as well (5.6). 

In addition to these career-breaking numbers, he also hit a record-high for three-pointers made in a single game this season.
