Marcio Lassiter’s Pursuit of PBA Three-Point Record
At the pace Marcio Lassiter is going, it would not be a surprise if he beats the all-time PBA record for most three-pointers before the season ends.
Marcio Lassiter breaking the PBA record for most career three-pointers is not a matter of if, but when. Lassiter is on track to claim the top spot in the list as he continues to punish defenses with his reliable marksmanship that has helped keep San Miguel unbeaten in the Philippine Cup.
Lassiter’s Current Standings and Targets
- Currently at No. 4 with 1,205 career triples, Lassiter needs 14 more to surpass LA Tenorio (1,218) for third.
- He requires 38 to overtake Allan Caidic (1,242) for second place.
- Lassiter needs 46 more three-pointers to leapfrog Jimmy Alapag (1,250) for the first position.
Lassiter’s Remarkable Performance
The 36-year-old leads the league in average three-pointers made with 3.2 per game, shooting at a stunning 56.9% efficiency, ranking No. 1 in the entire PBA.
In the last four games, he drained a combined 17 treys on a blistering 60.7% clip.
Projection and Season Outlook
By maintaining his average of 3.2 three-pointers per game, Lassiter could surpass Tenorio in five games, Caidic in 12 games, and Alapag in 15 games, according to PBA calculations.
The San Miguel Beermen, with a 9-0 record, have more games ahead in the playoffs, giving Lassiter opportunities to secure the top spot before the season concludes.
Lassiter’s Focus and Priorities
Lassiter remains focused on winning another championship with San Miguel, stating, “I’m not really thinking about that. I’m more focused on the win. But if I can make a few, that would be great to slowly chip away and we’ll see where it goes from there.”
