I don't know if I'm answering the question correctly, but I think if Brandon Walton can shoot the ball the way he did the last 2/3 of last season, he will be a very important part of the puzzle.
Considering the possibility of not having TJ Taylor, we don't really have any other true outside gunners to go to. Now, CJ and JW may have improved their outside shot in the last year, but until we see in game time action, we really don't know.
Once Tony Mitchell joined the team last year, NT had an inside presence to take some pressure off of our outside shooters. Walton benefitted from this and stepped it up. We will have even more of an inside game this year, with Patton and Coleman chewing up some minutes.
I know I have probably posted these stats before, but pre Mitchell, Walton was shooting 24% from beyond the arc. With Mitchell, he shot 41%. That is a pretty damn good percentage no matter what level.
