Six snipers the Utah Jazz could pursue in 2019 free agency

The Utah Jazz’s lack of 3-point shooting reared its ugly head in this year’s postseason and is an area they’ll have to improve during free agency.

Ask any Utah Jazz fan what their team needs to upgrade this offseason, and they’re almost certain to mention 3-point shooting as one of the top priorities. That couldn’t have been more evident in the first-round defeat to the Houston Rockets in which the Jazz shot a playoffs-worst 26.3 percent from deep.

Utah’s typically reliable 3-point shooters were well under their season averages and they were led by a middle of the road shooter in Royce O’Neale who converted at a less than riveting 34.8 percent. Those figures were somewhat of an anomaly, but they don’t change the fact that the Jazz truly suffered from a shortage of reliable shooting and floor spacing all season long, particularly in the postseason.

This really shouldn’t have come as much of a surprise as it was a big issue last summer as well that Utah failed to address. They missed out on some quality high-octane shooters a year ago, but fortunately they’ll have some appealing options to go after this time around that will be available in free agency.

In particular, I’ve rounded up six players that stand out as promising 3-point specialists – snipers from deep – that could revolutionize Utah’s shooting and offense. Let’s dive into each one including what else they could bring to the Jazz and how feasible of an option each truly would be.
