I still think this team needs more shooting

On paper a starting 5 of
CJ
Jones
BI
Zion
JV
is stacked. But that lineup isn't great from 3.
CJ is the best but BI has been bad this year and JV, after a hot start, has slowed big time from outside. Jones really needs to make a leap.
Off the bench Trey is a gunner but our other specialist,Graham, actually kind of suks from 3.
Really wish we could have got Kennard for cheap when he wasn't even in the Clips rotation at the end of last year.
I like Hart but we need a straight up flame thrower to compensate for our lack of outside shooting.

3 and D guys are in demand but having a good core group around means we can focus on drafting them and signing them.
At this point, we likely have our core or close to it and just need the supporting pieces.

That is still very apparent. For this team to take the next jump they need to get better 3 point shooting internally (BI HAS to get better there), and add a player or two with better 3 point shooting.
I see Trey as becoming the first sub off the bench for either Herb or even Val for Small Ball.
The middle and bottom of this roster will def get tinkered with at least slightly. There's no doubt in my mind that Griff is going to try pretty hard to convert Temple/Graham etc into better shooting/better use of money.
It should have some focus in the draft as well.

With JV, if he's not rushed it's near automatic. He'll get a lot of unrushed 3s when Zion is attacking the paint. I think he'll be back to over 40% next season.

Where does someone like that even fit in the rotation though?
I see 2nd units of
Zion/Guard/Trey/Jax/Nance
Jose may not be the best off ball player, but he just makes winning plays that are infectious. It's going to be hard for me to not put him in that guard spot. I would also hope the 8th pick would be vying for some of those guard minutes.

If I was the king of basketball rules I would abolish the 3 point line.
The pels now have elite midrange shooters and elite paint scorers. I'd rather watch them play their game than watch someone else jack up 3's all game.

Getting a top 4 pick and taking Jabari Smith or Poalo would be nice

This year in the draft use the same approach as last year.
One 6'6" 3&D guy (Mathurin or Agbaji?)
Take the best defensive guy in the 2nd

We've been better lately.
The last 20 games, we shot 35.3% which would be tied for 15th in the NBA for the season.

Get a grip lol.. every player in our rotation is at worst average shooter … calm down and be happy stop always looking for things to fix

Ignore that starting lineup. JV isn’t going to finish many games unless the matchups favor it.
