A name that his been a bit under-the-radar for the past week is Andrej Stojakovic. The Stanford transfer is coming off of an inconsistent freshman season but is as talented a shooter as they come.

The former McDonald's All-American averaged 7.8 points and 3.2 rebounds per game last season. He shot just 32.7 percent from three but did hit 34 3s on the year.

On Thursday, it was announced that the 6-foot-7 wing was down to three programs; Kentucky, North Carolina and Cal.

Mark Pope's offense, which ranked third in the country in made 3s last year and second in attempted 3s, would be a perfect fit for a shooter looking to get back on track. If he is paired with some of the ball dominant guards that Kentucky is invovled with, it would take a lot off of his shoulders in terms of his ability to create.

Stojakovic is the son of former NBA standout Peja Stojakovic.
