Shooting

While James Wiseman has oddly had some solid nights shooting the ball, he certainly is far from a consistent three-point shooter. Wiseman is averaging .5 threes per game on 43 percent from deep, an almost unsustainable rate.

Along those lines, Looney has also shown that he can at least hit the deep ball. Neither can really stretch the floor to help space the court for Stephen Curry to get better looks though as they just aren’t consistent shooters.

Baynes can.

While his opportunity to shoot has decreased in Toronto, he put up 1.4 threes per game last season and shot over 35 percent from deep. Now, this season, as mentioned, is a different story as he’s at just .6 per game and under 30 percent from deep.

That change should make him a perfect buy-low candidate and a player the Golden State Warriors need to look into trading for. But, there’s one more reason why.
