I'm very excited about Ris and DD. A SG and SF or two wings with great sive and many bball skills....and only 22 and 19
I think for the first time in a long time we are going to see a team that plays together and maximizes their talents

I think there ability to play without dominating the ball and their willingness and capabilities to move and pass the ball is something to look forward too.
What I like about Risacher is the quickness with which he makes decisions with the ball and without, in constant motion - unlike someone like Hunter who has to catch the ball and diagnose before making a move. Those split-second decision making to see plays develop and taking it to the defense and not being reactionary makes a big difference.

To your point.

All four need to practice the art of shooting.
Ball must enter circle thing at a high percentage.

The shooting issue isn't limited to just the wing players.
Could this be a coaching issue? (With one of the assistants pushing guys from their comfort zones, perhaps.)

I'm quickly coming around to coaching being an issue. It will take time to get up to speed after the injury bug, but things need to start looking better

One thing that I won't forget no matter how frustrated at the losses is that the Hawks are very young. CC and LN Jr are on the way out and likely Bog won't be a Hawk much longer. After that the team is very young
Just make sure that whoever else they add to the team, they can SHOOT

When there are games where OO has more 3pt attempts than 2s - it's a problem.
