Horrible outside shooters?

Novak was added, Rodney Hood is an excellent shooter. Burks isn't horrible, 35% over the last 2 seasons.

Hayward is a career .365 shooter from 3 despite shooting 30% last year, If the Jazz are comfortable paying him a big contract I'm sure they expect his percentage to be better than last year.

Trey Burke shot 33% but hes obviously got potential to improve.

Neither Derrick or Enes are bound to the post, both have acceptable %'s in the 10-16 foot range.

Then there's a few roster spots where you can add more shooting, I dont see why every player has to be an outside threat, Aminu is good bench player to change up the pace, his handle is sufficient for a player without much of an outside shot.

If the Jazz are getting killed on the boards, sub him in, If you need to change a defensive look against a bigger wing player whos hot, sub him in. Its not much more than that, I also disagree with you thinking he will be the same player at 28-29 as he is now at 24, Hes more than a year younger than DeAndre Kane, and hes got plenty of room for improvement, look how much Jeremy Evans has improved in the past 3 seasons.

If players don't improve their game over a 4 year span. Then I don't think they will over the next 4 years. I don't care if its from the age of 18-22 or 20-24(aminu) or 24-28. If you haven't improved in the past why would we think that player is going to improve in the future?
The biggest thing is everyone is average or below average. We HOPE Trey, Alec, Burks, Exum and Hayward improve. And we hope Hood can shoot the NBA 3 consistently.
But none of them are proven outside shooters. I really really hope they are, but its a big question mark on all of them.
 
Christ, and he is 31.

And people are complaining about trading for Novak for 3.5 million a year for 2 years........................... Seriously 4's that can shoot are very valuable right now.
Novak is a steal for us. Frye is a good player but he is overpaid.
