Shooting was arguably our #1 concern, more than a PG even.

We drafted Toppin and Quickley, both with good shooting upside, particularly Quickley.

Free agency: brought back Bullock and signed Rivers and Burks. All 3 have had highlight seasons shooting from 3pt recently.

I think Payton at PG continues to lower the ceiling as decent a shooting team, but maybe they view Rivers as a PG? Basically it's likely Payton and Rivers splitting PG duties, and Bullock and Burks covering the minutes on the opposite wing as Barrett. Quickley may be able to break through at some point, and Frank and Smith seem on the outside looking in. Did we address the shooting in your opinion?

Gonna be honest, I think DSJ would make a really good 6th man if his head is right.

A Smith, Rivers, Knox, Toppin, Noels second unit could at least be interesting. Really need Knox to at least look like a rotation player this season. If him and Smith can at least look somewhat formidable we aren’t in as dire a situation as it seems.

Having a point guard that can’t hit an open shot with Randle still starting is our biggest problem.

At this point, asking Knox to look like anything for the length of even a compressed season is like asking Frankie to be Steph Curry.
