Not sure about the waiver, but Estrada(at least based on previous stats) is just a so/so shooter. Now Will Richardson improved from like 20% to 48%..so I'm not sure where Estrada is at now.
If Richardson's finger doesn't linger too long and he starts putting up 40%+ again from 3 and Figueroa gets it going, we'll be fine from outside.
Duarte and Williams are both over 40% right now from 3 and I anticipate Figueroa will be between 35-40%. 4 guys at that clip will be just fine and Eugene ) hitting 33% or above would be a bonus.
Also, Quade Green is a heck of a player.(I think Richardson would lock him down a lot more than Hardy, but still, he's going to have a great season) Battle has potential. Everyone else on that team is mediocre/role players.
I liked how PJ was talking up Riley Sorn like he was the second coming of Spencer Hawes.

Estrada was just a freshman last year. I think those numbers will improve. Williams best shooting game so far was against Eastern Washington. He really look like a threat from the three line. Then the last two games the team has been... well, "meh" as far as outside shooting goes. I'd like to think that will be consistent from the arc. But Richardson is probably the best way to answer that thought. Duarte also plays much better when he has a top flight ball handler next to him.

It was really neat to see a kid from Tulalip in Raequan Battle have his best game of his career. Once upon a time I went to Marysville-Pilchuck and it seems far more bad happens for those kids than good.

The 3 Ball shooting on any team comes and goes. What is a little frustrating is the ball going into the high post as designed and have Lawson and Omoruyi continually miss those open 7-10 ft shots. Those are high conversion shots a D-1 player has to make. Convert half the misses and this is not a close game. Dante needs to continue to improve his catch and finish. Finish on the inside will open up the outside.
