10 Best Available Three-Point Shooters the Miami Heat Could Sign This Offseason

8. Caron Butler

Caron Butler of the Detroit Pistons

Caron Butler is a familiar face, having played with the Heat from 2002 until 2004.

Fast forward 11 years later, and the 35-year-old Butler has excelled at longevity, remaining a key member off the bench for the Detroit Pistons last season. The former No. 10 overall selection averaged 5.9 points on 37.9 percent from beyond the arc in just under 21 minutes per game for the Pistons in 2014-15.

He is a career 34.9 percent shooter from beyond the arc, so he’s not exactly a specialty three-point shooter.

Having said that, he possesses size at 6’7,” 228 pounds and the ability to knock down shots without dominating the ball.

There isn’t high demand for Butler on the free agent market, so it’s not beyond a reality that he could return to Miami.
