The obvious late-round shooters are usually specialists who make threes and do nothing else, and on a 9-cat roster a player like that can cost you in field goal percentage, rebounds and steals while helping in one column. The better late-round shooters are the ones who add threes without hurting anywhere else, and especially without the turnovers that come with players who create their own shots.

We looked at every player projected for at least 2.2 threes a game over 55 games or more who ranks outside our 9-cat top 70, and kept the ones who also shoot well from the line and turn the ball over rarely. Five stand out.
Every player in this story is on the fantasy basketball rankings and the 2026-27 projections, and the NBA depth charts show where each one stands in his team’s rotation tonight.
