Golden State Warriors: 5 takeaways from 2017 NBA Summer League
4. Shooters were in short supply
One major weakness for the Warriors’ Summer League team was three-point shooting. Aside from a night where Dylan Ennis shot 8-for-11 from behind the arc, the Warriors did not have a consistent outside threat. Even though the 2017 NBA champions already possess the best tandem of shooters in the league, it never hurts to have more.
Patrick McCaw showed improvements in his shooting and even pulled up off the dribble for some of his three-point attempts. Bryce Alford began to find his shooting touch over the last few games but overall did not shoot the ball well from deep. Dylan Ennis showed proficiency during his minutes and averaged 50 percent shooting from behind the three-point line along with a 35-point outburst in the finale.

Fortunately for the Golden State Warriors, there is not an immediate need on the roster for more shooting help. The starting lineup and bench players for the 2018 season are one of the best collections of shooting talent ever assembled.
