The 26-year-old American pretty much specialises in that.
The 1.98m swingman is the last major signing for the Nuggets.
He will join fellow imports Kimani Lawrence (American) and Ben Henshall (Australian) on a roster that also includes former Tall Black Tai Webster and impressive young guard Dontae Russo-Nance.
They will be backed up by a solid local crew of Jack Andrew, Matt Bardsley, Robbie Coman, Darcy Knox and Josh Aitcheson.
There is depth and experience in the roster, and coach Brent Matehaere is excited by what they might be able to achieve. He is also thrilled to have signed a player of Darko-Kelly’s calibre.
"He’s an elite shooter," Matehaere said.
"I think his numbers are around 43% from the three-point line and he has been doing that all his career.
"He plays really tough on the defensive end as well. He’s a real classic three-and-D, so we are really excited to have a player of his talent coming in to basically space the floor for us."
Darko-Kelly is a similar player to Todd Withers, who made a big impact during his two seasons with the franchise. But he is more of a shooter and should fit into the new style of play the Nuggets are likely to adopt in the absence of Tall Blacks centre Sam Timmins.
"He is the type of player who can score at will. There is a highlight tape of him hitting ... I think it was seven threes in a game. It might have even been 10.
"There are games where he doesn’t miss many. Having that kind of gravity on the floor means there is going to be more space for others and we’ve got some ball players, so that is going to be huge for us.
"He has been playing in the German No 1 league ... and that is a high-level competition."
Darko-Kelly has been playing for Tigers Tubingen in Germany and has also had professional stints in Finland and Greece.
He made a strong impression at college for Montana Western then transferred to the University of Providence, for his junior and senior years, where he continue to excel.
His travel plans have not been confirmed but Matehaere is hopeful he will arrive a week before the Nuggets’ opening game of the season, against the Southland Sharks in Dunedin on March 30.
