You don't roster build on speculation. Can they improve as shooters? Yes. Should Weaver make moves with the idea they will improve as shooters? No.
By that logic it should then be assumed possible that no player on this roster will ever be better than what they are now. Therefore given how this team is playing, Weaver should be planning to replace every single player on this roster since they all need to improve in some way or another before this team can contend for a championship, correct?
Sure, it sounds great to have a "back up plan" for every single player on the team. But the reality is that yeah, you DO have to make some leaps of faith.
Where was it stated that no one gets better? I said you don't PLAN with the expectation that outlier development of a skill will occur. Huge difference. So no, Weaver shouldn't expect his young starting backcourt to suddenly become plus shooters and throw another one in the mix.
You're the one who said you don't PLAN on them getting better, which is the same thing as saying you'd plan for replacing them in order for the team to get better. It's not possible to have a Plan B for every single player on the roster, i.e. if Cade doesn't become the star the team needs him to be, there's another player right behind him who may be. Like I said, sounds great on paper but not possible. You do have to plan according to the assumption that your players may actually become the players you believe they'll become when you drafted them.
