The Warriors took a chance in July. They gambled, hoping to fix a weakness that was clearly apparent even as they were racing to a championship last season.
Maybe they did. But nine games into this season there is no such evidence.
The Warriors still lack 3-point shooting off the bench, an issue they figured would be remedied with the offseason signings of veteran guard Nick Young and veteran forward Omri Casspi.
The Warriors rank 29th -- next to last -- in 3-point makes off the bench this season, which is precisely where they finished last season.
