There's a lot of good shooters in this offseason's class and draft.
I agree Redick is great, but the Sixers can get better value for their money. Bellennelli will only be a few million and isn't all that far off from Redick. The Sixers could reasonably go after Ellington and Bellenelli. Trevor Ariza or Luc Mbah Mouta are interesting names too. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Sixers go wing in the draft also.
Adding say Bridges/Ellington/Ariza or Mbah Moute would be extremely interesting. If the Sixer go big with their pick they could go grab Ellington/Bellenelli/and Ariza or Mouta.
I think the Sixers can have a really effective lineup combinations letting Covington/Ariza get a lot of minutes behind Saric at PF. Fultz/Bridges/Ellington/Covington/Ariza/Saric is enough depth to fill the 2-4 spots and they can play Holmes or add a veteran min for matchups that dictate them going bigger.
I think what is more likely to happen though is that you force teams to go small to matchup with you. Traditional bigs won't be able to guard Covington/Ariza in space on the perimeter and there arent many PFs with the kind of post game to really do a lot of damage to those two if there is a size disadvantage.
