I think they have:

Klay, Max, Tarik, PJW, Aldama that can all shoot 35% from 3. 

All of them have proven it in the NBA except Tarik, who we all expect to translate. 

Your obsession with position labels is what I think the issue is. If Flagg is one of the front court players and all you care about is putting a 3PT shooter next to him in the “front court” why are the above not viable options? Yes, Klay is the most proven, consistent, best of the bunch. But all the others are, by your own standards, “capable 35% 3PT shooters” — and I’d argue all but Tarik are simply better overall offensive players than Klay.

I remember back when a guy who shot 37% from three was considered to be a rifleman, and 35% was certainly good enough. Those were the days. Then came Dirk, Steph (especially), KAT, Durant… Now 40% is the expectation for a perimeter starter to not draw criticism, and 42+ is necessary to be considered a top shooter.
