That's a heck of lot of 3's.

For our team especially. I read an article recently that we are actually taking good shots (some advanced metrics finally trickling into the system), but we are just terrible at converting. I'm not expecting a lot of trades to take place this year, but it does seem like the ideal time to pick up some cheap bench shooters with limited games otherwise. We're locked into Reggie-Blake-Drummond, it's time to space the court and let them do the heavy lifting.

Right now, we're asking Blake to be all of our outside shooting while giving no space to Reggie-Drummond.
