I noticed today that the Celtics are shooting the 3rd most 3pt attempts in the league, but only averaging 32%. My first thought was that Brad would love an additional threat from deep, so I dove into the mock drafts and did some digging.

Is there any significant threat from 3pt range that is currently in the lottery conversation? In addition to be very big-heavy already, the top guards and wings are all averaging less than 35% from the college 3pt line.

The only two players that are over 40% in the mock drafts I've seen are Furkan Korkmaz (a Euro mystery of course), and Demetrius Jackson (older small pg). Perhaps Furkan is the real deal, and he is a wing that would be a good fit. But I don't envision another small guard like Demetrius on the team.

Can anyone name some other names?
