With the three-point shot being a critical part of many teams’ success it’s no surprise that so many players dominate in this area. Here are my underrated sharpshooters for the 2024 class.
Land is a player that can get his shots up in a hurry and thrive in catch-and-shoot situations. His ability to move without the basketball and continue running around off-ball screens is how he gets most of his open shots. He will tire defenders out. Land has a high and quick release while standing at 6’3″ making it difficult for defenders to get a hand on it. He has a good handle with the basketball allowing him to also create his shots off the dribble when he needs to.
Highlights
Powell is a quick guard who can get his shots by breaking down defenders and running around off-ball screens. He has tight handles allowing him to create his offense, especially behind the three-point line. Powell has deep range and will take a step back the more he makes throughout a game. His jumpers are smooth as he makes it look effortless when shooting from deep. He knows where his spots are and how to get there within the flow of an offense while not forcing anything.
Highlights
Alexander is the ultimate catch-and-shoot shooter from downtown as there isn’t a shot he can’t take or won’t make. He knows exactly where his spots are and how to get them. His teammates are constantly finding him on fastbreak opportunities for open shots. Alexander is automatic if you let him get fully set behind the three-point line. His release is high and needs very little room to get it off.
Denvir is a high-volume scorer who can get his offense in many different ways. He has the utmost confidence to take some very tough and deep contested shots making the defense scramble trying to guard him. He can put the ball on the floor and get by almost anyone guarding him. Denvir can hit shots in catch-and-shoot or isolation situations. He will not hesitate to shoot the ball from deep and can put up some big numbers every game.
