Actually, I think the only real 3-pt problem at the outset is AD. He's nowhere close to league average and he thinks he can shoot it.

All the others have a reasonable chance of shooting around 38%. Lively is untested. Marshall has done it before. Some rotation members could come and go, but I don't expect our typical lineup to look like something in the bottom half.

I think it very likely they will be in the bottom half overall (accounting for percentage and volume).  They are playing two bigs with no history of shooting from 3 well, and few players on this roster should be expected to shoot better than league average (some of them might, but Kyrie, Klay and maybe Dlo are the only ones you could reasonably expect).  Marshall has done it before but he shot 28% last season.  Hard to expect much spacing from him.  Other than the three mentioned players, there is nobody on this roster that shoots a lot of volume either.
