3. Gerald Green
After going through a tough stretch early on in his career that saw him play with four teams in four seasons, Green has finally found a niche as a three-point shooter in the NBA.
After bouncing out of the league for three years, Green emerged as an elite three-point shooting threat with the fast-paced Phoenix Suns during the 2013-14 season. He ranked fourth in the league in three-point field goals converted, and scored a career-high 15.8 points per game while playing alongside Goran Dragic.
Though his numbers and minutes dipped last season in Phoenix, he still converted on 35.4 percent of his three-point attempts.
The Heat were a below-average team from long range last season. It’s clear what Green’s role is, and that will be to stretch defenses while converting on a few shots from downtown.
What Ray Allen was for the Heat for two seasons from 2012 until 2014 is what Green will be to Miami for the upcoming season.
