Here are the top 9 Mavs. The bench mob actually shoots it reasonably well, but not on enough volume to make a huge impact. We could expect a healthy Luka to be better next time around, but PJ+DJJ are definitely big concerns. THJ is useless and will kill the Mavs next season if he's still on the roster.
Of the few players from other teams I've looked at so far, Gary Trent Jr seems to stand out. He's made at least 38% of his ATB 3's each of the last 5 seasons. He also hit 51.3% of his wide open 3's on 3.3 attempts/game last season. That's double Exum's volume.
Thanks for pointing out that website, I decided to look up a couple of my favorite targets:
Jerami Grant: 36.8% ATB, 46%(!) corner
Deandre Hunter: 37.4% ATB, 40.6% corner
I really am warming up to the idea of getting one of these guys. I think we would probably not be able to keep DJJ (definitely not with Grant), but ideally Omax and another TPE signing could make up for that. Adding that 3rd guy who can shoot and score 15ppg really would make a huge difference for this offense, I think.
