We used to complain about our 3&D guys being able to do nothing on offense which begs thee question, would you rather have a guy who hits threes at a decent clip but offers nothing else offensively or would you rather have a swiss army knife on offense who shoots the three at ~30%? I don't think you'll get someone who can do both in the Naji salary range.
You are not wrong and it is a tricky evaluation. Just watching the real good teams play, you see they are filled with shooting. Dallas wans to play with two limited shooting bigs (as of now), PJ who is streaky and a few other bench pieces who are streaky shooters. Throwing out a 20% three point shooter seems like a bad idea, no matter what else he does on the court. Also, it is not the shots he takes and misses. It is the ones he passes to drive into the teeth of the defense. He needs to get that percentage up and at least be a threat to make an opn three.
