Whatever the case, this team needs 3P shooting, and they need to stop beating the bush. If they absurdly want to continue trying to win with Demar as the #1, then atleast give our eyes relief and target some 3P shooters (Buddy, Trent) and ballhandlers (Fultz, Tyus - if cheap). A Pascal is not gonna help that particular problem.
Honestly its not as simple as that.
Ok put it this way. This season we have basically 3 guys that shot 40% from 3. On top of that Coby, Ayo, Caruso too a career best in attempts and percentage.
We still ranked 27 in 3s made and 26th in attempts.
So why is that? Its because we fundamentally do not make 3s a #1 priority. Take that verses the Celtics where they rank #1 in makes and attempts. Its their first, second and third option to take the 3. They have about 4 players that only take 3s.
We have to fundamentally change the way we play. Not no stupid Stacey King play inside crap. This isn't the 90s and the game is different. You basically have to have an unstoppable inside game to counteract that like Denver. Vooch is no Jokic.
This is why getting a Carter and Craig did nothing for our 3ptrs. Even though stat wise they are considered good 3pt shooters, it didnt make a dent in our bottom line.
Now if we got back a prime Lonzo, then thing could fundamentally change but that's a longshot.
