Davis Bertans shot 42.4%  from 3-point range last season, including 12-of -23 from at least 30 feet.

Free agent forward Davis Bertans has agreed to a five-year, $80 million contract to stay with the Washington Wizards, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. He officially signed the deal on Sunday afternoon.

Bertans’ contract will include an early termination option for year five, per Wojnarowski.

One of the best 3-point shooters in the NBA, Bertans averaged 15.4 points and 4.5 rebounds last season — both career highs. He shot 42.4% from beyond the arc and made 200 3-pointers before opting out of the NBA restart.

At 6-foot-10, Bertans is a towering sharpshooter with great range. Though he came off the bench, Bertans led the league with 7.4 catch-and-shoot 3-point attempts per game.

Bertans made his NBA debut with the San Antonio Spurs in the 2016-17 season. The Wizards acquired Bertans in a three-team trade before last season.
