NBA Free Agents 2011: The 5 Most Accurate Shooters on the Market This Summer

While the NBA lockout draws on, every fan is left to ponder not only how much longer it was last, but more importantly, what sort of moves their team will make.

Speculation is running rampant about where big names like Dwight Howard or Steve Nash might go, however many fans can also look forward to their teams acquiring the last piece they need to put them over the top.

One such role ever present on a team and especially available this summer, is that of a shooter.

So for teams like the Chicago Bulls or the Minnesota Timberwolves, the field to pick from is actually somewhat promising.

Here are five guys who are snipers from beyond the arc.

Jason Richardson

The Jason Richardson of old was known more for his leaping ability and spectacular dunks.

The current incarnation of "J-Rich" has gone the route of many other high fliers, relying more on a solid jump shot than the ability to attack the rim from above.

Always a solid three-point shooter, Richardson's game has evolved away from the basket and most notably in Orlando, he's become more accustomed to getting his points beyond the arc.

During the regular season, Richardson was shooting around 38% from the three-point line and while not his highest percentage, was still fairly high for a team with guys like Hedo Turkoglu and J.J. Redick.

His ability to get to the basket was his claim to fame, but his shooting is what will be what makes him a valuable asset to obtain this off-season.

Daequan Cook

Daequan Cook can shoot the ball.

The 2009 NBA Three-Point Shootout Champion, Daequan Cook was shooting 42% from the three-point line during this past regular season.

Cook remains one of the best shooters available on the summer market.

For a guy who comes off the bench playing around 14 or 15 minutes, he did well in Oklahoma City, despite having the offensive talents of Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and James Harden around him.

If he doesn't stick around with the Thunder, he'll make plenty of teams happy.

Peja Stojakovic

Widely considered one of the best shooters during his heyday in Sacramento with the Kings, Peja Stojakovic was hit with some rough injuries once he arrived in New Orleans and then later in Toronto. 

However, once he joined the squad of savvy veterans in Dallas, Peja came out strong, shooting 40% from the three-point line for the 25 games that he played and then 37% in the post-season.

He may not be the same player shooter he was back in Sacramento in the early 2000's, but he proved that should be injury free, he can still shoot the lights out on any given night.

J.R. Smith

Despite reoccurring issues regarding his behavior, J.R. Smith remains one of best talents when it comes to providing offense off the bench.

While he has a ton of athleticism and ability to finish at the basket, Smith is also a great shooter. This past season he was shooting 39% percent from the three-point line and almost 43% during the playoffs.

Add to his outside shooting his ability to create his own shot and Smith is not only one of the more promising shooters on the market, but also one of the best scorers to acquire in the off-season.

The only thing is, do teams want to risk his poor attitude in exchange for his offensive talent?

Anthony Parker

Anthony Parker established himself as not only a solid defender during his tenure with the Toronto Raptors, but also as a solid shooter.

When he arrived in Cleveland, Parker enjoyed a role as a shooter to kick out to from LeBron James.

Now with James gone out of Cleveland, Parker has become an unrestricted free agent and really one of the more underrated players available on the market.

A good perimeter defender, Parker was shooting almost 38 percent from the three-point line and put in the right system, is more than capable of shooting at a 44 three-point percentage like he did in Toronto.
