The Orlando Magic have reached the postseason in each of the last two seasons. They have done so despite finishing dead last in three-point makes both years (including last in three-point accuracy in 2024-25). They were eliminated in the opening round each time. It would likely behoove the Magic to add some outside shooting this season<\/a>, and they certainly aren’t the only team that should. Here are seven players who have proven to be accurate three-point shooters that will be free agents this offseason. Each of these guys could potentially be added via just a veteran’s minimum deal, although that is not guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Free Agent Three-Point Shooters That Can Be Had For Cheap<\/h2>\n

Alec Burks<\/h3>\n

Turning 34 years old on July 20, Alec Burks<\/a> has played 14 seasons in the NBA. He started 14 games for the Heat this season and connected on 42.5% of his three-point tries. It was actually the fourth time in the last five years that the 6-foot-6 guard\/forward made at least 40%. Burks played on a veteran\u2019s minimum deal for Miami and can likely be had at that price again for 2025-26.<\/p>\n

Amir Coffey<\/h3>\n

After averaging a career-best 9.7 points, Amir Coffey<\/a> was not part of the Clippers rotation during their first round loss to the Nuggets. After shooting 38.0% from beyond the arc in 2023-24, the six-year veteran upped that accuracy to 40.9% in 2024-25. Coffey will turn 28 years old in less than a week (June 17) and has completed the three-year, $11 million deal he agreed to.<\/p>\n

Seth Curry<\/h3>\n

The league leader in three-point accuracy in 2024-25 at 45.6%, Seth Curry<\/a> will be 35 years old on August 23. Now 11 seasons deep, the younger brother of Stephen Curry<\/a> has made 43.3% of his three-point tries in his NBA career. He played on the veteran\u2019s minimum this season and will likely continue to do so as long as his career continues.<\/p>\n

Garrison Mathews<\/h3>\n

For his career, a two-point shot is a rarity for Garrison Mathews<\/a>. In 2024-25, 84.8% of his attempts were from beyond the arc, right at his career mark of 84.9%. Mathews shot 39% from three-point territory this season, just above his career accuracy of 38.2%.<\/p>\n

Doug McDermott<\/h3>\n

After a legendary college career at Creighton, Doug McDermott<\/a> has now played 11 seasons in the NBA. Now 33 years old, his playing time has dwindled as he averaged a career-low 8.1 minutes per contest with the Sacramento Kings in 2024-25. He is still a marksman though, making 43.6% of his three-point attempts this season and 41.1% for his career.<\/p>\n

Taurean Prince<\/h3>\n

Taurean Prince<\/a> seems like a player who should earn more than the veteran\u2019s minimum. That\u2019s all he signed for this season though on a one-year deal with the Bucks. The 31-year-old\u2019s 43.9% three-point shooting was among the league leaders in 2024-25. That was a career-best for the nine-year forward who is at 38.4% for his career. Prince started 73 games for Milwaukee this season and averaged 8.2 points.<\/p>\n

Landry Shamet<\/h3>\n

Landry Shamet<\/a> wasn’t able to garner a standard contract last offseason, instead signing an Exhibit 9 deal. He got hurt, and thus was waived, although the New York Knicks re-added him once he was healthy enough to play. The 28-year-old made 39.7% of his three-point tries and is at 38.5% for his career. Shamet also made seven<\/a> of his 15 three-point attempts in this year’s postseason.<\/p>\n
