Guys like Redick, Seth Curry, Bertans, Korver, Bjelica, Olynyk have all been available over the last few years but Houston didn't seem that interested.
Hell even Broekhoff would have been a monster off their bench jacking 3s.
They also missed Duncan Robinson in the G-League, though they did grab Daniel House I guess.
McLemore is their only player in the top 80 for 3pt % this season.
They have 3 players in the top 51 for 3pt attempts (House is 51st)
I think the Rockets play style is one of the reasons why even good or at least above average shooters have mediocre percentages. Looks like half of the roster had career low percentages this season. No team is taking more contested 3s and it is not only Harden.
Mavs are probably the opposite. DFS and Maxi aren´t as good as the regular season numbers suggest. Both rank in the top 15 in open 3PA and basically never take contested shots. Tucker for example has been one of the best shooters from both corners but with increased volume his percentages suffered. DFS is also a corner specialist but never came close to Tuckers percentages.
