Threes Ruining Rookies? 3 as Main Strategy?

I am very concerned that the Celtics dont take it to the hoop more often.  I am really concerned that players are falling in love with the three and underdeveloping other scoring skills. 

Does Stevens want to prioritize the three over all other scoring options at the detriment of player development?

If we acquired a quality post player would Stevens minimize that aspect of his game to re-train the man as a three point shooter?

I was hoping to see Smart take it to the rim much more than he has. 

I am really worried that our rookies are going to become chuckers as directed by the coach and will rust out under the basket.

Is Stevens unable to adapt to the NBA?  I like Stevens but have concerns that are stressing me out.

I now have a couple of shots of whiskey before every game,,,

You have to be able to get by guys to drive, usually driving the defenders front foot in doing so.   Our guys are slow, it is hard for them to do this consistently.   Green can do it when he chooses.   I have seen Bass do it rarely, Zeller might be able to do so, Sully and KO have a snowball chance in heck.   I worry, Smart might not have break out speed.   AB can't dribble so rarely does it.  Turner is decent at it.   But personel wise we are not a team of rim attackers or defenders.
