You add more bad shooters!

Theis 29% 3PT%; White 31.4% 3PT%

In fact, in the past month we've shed six out of our nine most accurate shooters:

1.  Bruno 100%
2. Jabari 50.0%
4. Freedom 40.0%
5. Richardson 39.7%
8. Schroder 34.9%
8. Langford 34.9%

I jest with Bruno, Jabari and Freedom, but we've added two guys who have shot worse from outside than Marcus Smart.

Thoughts on how we fix something like this?  Adding Pritchard to the rotation presumably would help.  Can Nesmith get it going?  Is this off-season the one where we finally trade Smart for John Collins, lol?

Funny, because when I first saw the thread title, your first line is exactly what I was thinking.

White seems like he could be a good fit in a lot of ways, but I don't think he's sharpshooter material. Ever since the Cs lost Ray Allen and Eddie House, I've wanted the team to get another sniper—Mike Miller, Kyle Korver, JJ Redick—but they never have. Danny often insisted on drafting "combo" guards who couldn't shoot well, or drafted guys who were great shooters in college but not in the NBA (Carsen Edwards, James Young, Aaron Nesmith). Really bums me out that they've yet to get another long-range assassin. Bums me out even more that in spite of not having such a player, they still insist on shooting tons of threes.
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'
