3. Stud- Fletcher Magee

Although Fletcher Magee is largely unknown by NBA fans, one thing is for sure: he can shoot the leather off of the basketball. Magee ranks third in NCAA history in made 3-pointers with 509, which is quite literally the definition of a sniper.

Magee made at least 40 percent from three in each of his four seasons with the Wofford Terriers on an ungodly number of attempts, especially as an upperclassman (9.9 ass a junior and 10.8 as a senior). In Monday's championship game, Magee was the Rockets' only second-unit player to score in double figures, as he finished with 10 points on 3-of-6 from the field, 1-of-3 from deep, and 3-of-3 from the charity stripe.

Magee was +8 on the night, which was second best on the team, and he added three rebounds, two steals, and one assist. With his ability to shoot from deep and the Rockets' inability to add 3-point shooters this offseason, he could very well make it difficult for the Rockets' brass to pass on giving him a two-way spot.
