Free agents go flying off the board fast and furious before their occurrences become far less frequent. That doesn\u2019t mean there isn\u2019t any <a  href=\"https:\/\/hoopshype.com\/lists\/2024-nba-free-agent-rankings-top-players-available-this-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">value left for teams<\/a> in the free-agent market though.<\/p>\n<p>If a team is looking to add to their depth by signing a three-point shooter, there are players out there who can help. Many of the players listed here can likely be had on a minimum deal. Here are seven players that remain in NBA free agency that are more than capable of being reliable three-point shooters that remain unsigned.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Three-Point Shooters Still Available In NBA Free Agency<\/h2>\n<h3>Davis Bertans<\/h3>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bertada01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Davis Bertans<\/a> has clearly been overpaid the last few seasons, but he remains a reliable three-point shooter. The 31-year-old has made 39.6% from three-point range in his career. In two straight seasons (2018-19 and 2019-20), more than 42% of his threes went through the net.<\/p>\n<h3>Gordon Hayward<\/h3>\n<p>A former max salary player, <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/h\/haywago01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gordon Hayward<\/a> may have to settle for a minimum deal after going scoreless in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/07\/29\/how-can-the-thunder-take-the-next-step-next-season\/\" target=\"_self\">Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>\u2019s playoff run. The 34-year-old has had his share of injuries of late as well. He still made 41.1% from long-range last season with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/07\/29\/hornets-sign-g-league-moussa-diabate-standout-to-two-way-contract\/\" target=\"_self\">Charlotte Hornets<\/a> and Thunder. That\u2019s the fourth time in the last five seasons that Hayward has made at least 38.3% of his three-point tries.<\/p>\n<h3>Justin Holiday<\/h3>\n<p>Now 35 years old, <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/h\/holidju01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Justin Holiday<\/a> has spent 11 seasons in the NBA. Last season with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/07\/20\/nuggets-sign-college-sharpshooter-to-two-way-deal-spencer-jones\/\" target=\"_self\">Denver Nuggets<\/a>, Holiday made 40.4% of his 136 three-point attempts. He\u2019s at a career mark of 36.5% from three-point range.<\/p>\n<h3>Luke Kennard<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/07\/29\/grizzlies-face-franchise-updates-injury-status\/\" target=\"_self\">Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> declined <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/k\/kennalu01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Luke Kennard<\/a>\u2019s $14.8 million team option at the end of June. While many believe he eventually <a  href=\"https:\/\/hoopshype.com\/rumor\/luke-kennard-expected-to-remain-with-grizzlies\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">returns to Memphis<\/a>, as of now he remains unsigned. It will likely require more than a minimum deal to sign the 28-year-old. He led the NBA in three-point percentage in back-to-back seasons in 2021-22 and 2022-23. He\u2019s at a career mark of 43.9% from three-point range over seven seasons and hit them at a 45.0% clip in 2023-24.<\/p>\n<h3>Doug McDermott<\/h3>\n<p>Now 32 years old, <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/m\/mcderdo01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Doug McDermott<\/a> is 10 seasons deep into his NBA career. One thing he has done consistently through that time is connect on the long ball. He has shot 41.0% from three-point territory in his career, the same percentage he had last season with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/07\/29\/san-antonio-spurs-sign-rookie-to-two-way-contract-harrison-ingram\/\" target=\"_self\">San Antonio Spurs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/07\/27\/pacers-star-tyrese-haliburton-believes-his-team-is-being-overlooked-in-the-east\/\" target=\"_self\">Indiana Pacers<\/a>. He has made more than 40% from beyond the arc in seven of his 10 seasons.<\/p>\n<h3>Cedi Osman<\/h3>\n<p>After playing six years with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/07\/06\/previewing-the-cleveland-cavaliers-2024-summer-league\/\" target=\"_self\">Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>, <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/o\/osmande01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cedi Osman<\/a> played 2023-24 as a member of the Spurs. Attempting 3.1 three-pointers a game, Osman made them at a 38.9% mark which is a career-best. Around 54% of his career field goal attempts are from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n<h3>Landry Shamet<\/h3>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/wizards\/news\/wizards-request-waivers-on-shamet\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Waived<\/a> by the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/07\/30\/kyle-kuzma-trade-quiet-for-now-opens-new-eatery\/\" target=\"_self\">Washington Wizards<\/a> in early July, <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/s\/shamela01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Landry Shamet<\/a> remains unsigned. Last season was a down one from the 27-year-old when it comes to three-point accuracy. He made 33.8% from deep in 2023-24, but he was a far more accurate 38.8% over his first five seasons.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NBA has entered the part of the offseason where free agency signings have mostly come to a standstill.
