Not sure we need shooters as badly as some here believe. We've still retained Joe Harris, who is our most important one, but we've also added Kyrie in place of D Lo, who is a more efficient 3pt shooter than D Lo (although on lower volume). Prince has shot the 3 better than Crabbe or Carroll in the last couple seasons, especially Carroll. I'd say that Temple and Chandler are both better shooters than the guys they're replacing (Graham and Dudley).
I'd also hope that the Dinwiddie and Levert shoot the 3 better next season. With Dinwiddie, his 3pt efficiency dipped after his injury, so hopefully we're looking at 35% or above from him next year. Obviously, you can never have enough shooters, but I don't think we're worse off than we were this year. I think Crabbe is the biggest loss as a shooter, because even if his 3pt % wasn't that great, he still attracted the kind of attention that a 3pt specialist does. But he wasn't a big factor for us this year, so we should be fine.
