Despite having only spent two seasons with the Orlando Magic (so far) and having played just 137 games for the ball club, Evan Fournier has already proven himself to be one of the team’s best 3-point shooters in a long time.

Known for his ability with the three-ball when he came in along with a second round pick (which turned into Devyn Marble) as part of a 2014 Draft Night trade, Fournier shot 37.8 percent in his first year with Orlando. It started off well but soon tempered off as the season wore on.

But his second season in Central Florida was a different story.

Fournier shot 40 percent from deep on a career-high 4.9 attempts per contest, whilst becoming the model of consistency. Despite struggling in October and April, Fournier otherwise never shot worse than 38.2 percent for any month, and shot better than 40 percent in November, February and March, with the figure for the middle of these being an a scorching 47.2 percent.

Fournier has a long career ahead of him, and should he continue his sweet-shooting ways. Expect him to shoot up this list sooner rather than later.
