I actually think clearly our biggest flaw is 3 point shooting, being that we were 28th in the NBA last season beyond the arc and we have the same lineup returning. 3 point shooting should open up with Zion's addition, but if we can't take advantage of defenses collapsing Zion by hitting our 3's, then there could be problems.


3-pt shooting will be just fine. We'll have the right people taking a huge majority of them as opposed to last year when we basically had the WRONG people taking a HUGE number of 3s. We should end up around 12th or so in the league...in 3-pt %. Just need to make sure & incorporate a bit more 3-pt shooting into our overall offense. Plenty of open looks will be there...assuming we'll make the extra pass.

Problems are obviously "rim protection" and of course...overall defense from the "5". Gonna take a while to figure out how to remedy those 2 problems.

I very much disagree. Falling in love with the 3 is one of the worst traps to fall into. We need to grind out possessions, get to the rim and be efficient in the midrange.
