Long-distance shooters are needed for every fantasy roster; the question is: do you draft only players with 3 point upside or do you chase specialists in the latter rounds of your draft?? If your answer is the latter than this article is for you. We are looking at value three-point specialists.

Brandon Rush – Dunleavy’s looming return leaves Rush’s role in the air, but regardless of whether he is starting or not he will be a roster worthy three-point specialist.

Raja Bell – The projected starter at SG for the Larry Brown lead Bobcats, he will be pushed for minutes by rookie Gerald Henderson. Look for Bell to thrive with the competition.

J.R Smith – J.R will continue to put up solid numbers as long as he stays out of Coach Karl’s dog-house. He is an extremely talented player who benefits from the open looks playing with Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony create.

Stephen Curry – Expected to stsart from day one, ROY favorite Stephen Curry, son of former Raptor Dell, should be one of the top three-point shooters in the NBA based on volume both made and attempted.

Shane Battier – Shane Battier should have quite the season this year and like always will be a decent source of three’s, however this season we expect to see an increase in his three-point numbers as he is relied on more offensively with Yao and T-Mac both out to start the season and Artest in L.A.

Peja Stojakovic – If healthy Chris Paul will return him to the upper echelon of three-point specialists. He is no longer anything close to the player he once was but he still stands 6’8 with one of the sweetest strokes in Basketball.

Brent Barry – With McCants now in town, the minutes Barry was sloted to get after Wafer’s departure to Europe now gets a little more cloudier. Regardless of this however Brent promises to be a decent source of three’s for those focusing on this stat in the final rounds of their draft.

James Posey – Posey seems destined to have the season we all expected from him last year, this year. The team has a new impetus on defense and this should slide Posey into the staring lineup where he will flourish as both a defensive stopper and a three-point specialist.

Marco Belinelli – Marco will be leaned upon to provide scoring off the bench and should surpass 100 threes for the season with little fan fare. Belinelli also has a chance to creack the starting rotation if DeRozan falters.

Jason Kapono – Ready to assume the Kyle Korver role for the Philidelphia 76ers. May have a tough time establishing a role with Speights and Jrue Holiday also due to come off the bench, should be the backup for Thaddeus Young. If he can get the minutes 100+ three’s seems like a certainty.

Leandro Barbosa – Barbosa will not be available as late as some of the names on this list, and has an upside comparable to that of J.R Smith and Shane Battier’s. He is not slotted to start but that could change very soon if Hill should suffer an injury. This is one name to target in your drafts.

Matt Bonner – Should see a lot less time on the floor this season with McDeyess and Blair in town but Bonner will still play the role of big man three-point specialist and will have some fairly decent games spread across the season

Roger Mason – Roger Mason Jr. has proved his mettle as an NBA three-point shooter, so I will just say take a long hard look at him if you need a source of three’s when drafting in the later rounds of your draft.
