We are approaching the heart of the summer and the activity of the transfer market is getting more and more intense, with teams looking for players who will strengthen the roster ahead of the new season.

As the days pass, the available options for coaches are getting limited as more and more players are renewing their contracts with the teams they were playing for or are reaching agreements with new ones.

After presenting the top free agents on the market but also the best bargains, Eurohoops created a new list with players that are looking for a new contract and whose most important asset is their long-range shooting.

In essence, they are choices that can punish the rival defense if they are open outside the 6.75 line, which makes them an important weapon for every coach.

Matt Lojeski – 9.9 points, 37-for-88 in three-point field goals (42%)

Matt Lojeski’s name could not be missing from a conversation regarding the best shooters in European basketball. In recent years, the American guard/forward has been one of the biggest… killers in the EuroLeague, with his career best being around 43%, while in the season that ended he was 42% with 37-for-88 in three-point field goals overall.

His injury shortly before the completion of the regular season did not allow him to help Olympiacos in the most crucial part of the season, but his talent is a given. Armed with his rare ability from outside the 6.75 line, Lojeski is looking for the next stop in his career and become an important solution outside of the perimeter.

Erick Green – 9.9 points, 48-for-120 in three-point field goals (40%)

Erick Green is expected to be gone from Olympiacos in the coming days and his name is going to be a serious consideration for several teams, while Eurohoops has information that he’s reportedly already on Panathinaikos’s transfer list.
 
The American guard knows how to connect, either setting up situations for himself after a dribble or finishing a play as a spot shooter. His long-range shooting is without a doubt his most important asset and it is enough to get him a new contract, quite possibly with a EuroLeague team.
 
The 120 three-pointers that he attempted in the season that ended is a rather big number and the fact that he kept his percentage pretty high (40%) proves his ability.
