2 problems here with your logic:

1. Can the average shooter guy get the ball to the stupendous shooter to begin with?? If he can't then the average shooter takes the ball...still better than no shot at all.

2. Is the stupendous shooter marked? If he is marked by another good defender, he might not be the best player to take the shot either. Its all about match ups.

There are 10 seconds left I said. 10. Neither you nor the stupendous shooter is paralyzed or petrified. Move. Pass to the guy next to you, he may not be stupendous but he's still better than you are. Or trip over your defender's leg and break your jaw in the proces. Just don't shoot.

He doesn't know his range is 12', he thinks he's great at threes - he only remembers the shots that go in.

Last time coach said to him "you're total pants at shooting threes, pass it to Reggie, he's great" he broke the coach's jaw and got traded to his current team.

That was not meant as an insult. I'm sorry if it seemed offensive. Thats the problem with the internet. I meant that your arguments and examples weren't backing up your assumptions - so shut up about it. As in stop arguing just for the heck of it and make some sense. Thats all.

And the coach of his new team lives in a bubble? Is dyslexic and thought Reggie Evans read Reggie Miller?

Look up Reggie Evans' career fg%. And stfu. Enough nonsense.


and did you think he never make shooting thrills like lots of your examples? And did you think shooting percentages here are comparable to the NBA(or other pro leagues)?

When a pro Baller is open, he sometimes take the shot, instead of passing to the dude who have a double team - sometimes it also helps to get the good shooter a bit space too.

Evans for example scored 15 points each game in college, don't look like a total nuthead to me ;)

You're missing the point. The point is Reggie Evans, inspite of his offensive game not translating from a lower (college) to a higher (NBA) league, still, I repeat, still, shoots 47% from the field. Because he knows he'll be out of the league if he jacks up 3s with 10 left on the clock. Or shoots <40.

the point is that he still have offensiv abilities, and not like the defensiv specialist who learned basketball without having a basket you want to have here.

When the average Big men skill in BB would be 13 for a league, an Evans stile player would have something like 10 IS and 15 ID. if you want shooting percentages like the NBa, you probadly need a average of 13 IS compared to 10 ID and evans have it maybe the other way round.

I hope you see my point now? In real Pro leagues there aren't people who can not score, even the defensiv specialist would be offensiv options one level below.
