???? Ability to launch from anywhere doesn’t “generate” extra shots, it just takes away a different shot in the possession. The only way to generate extra shots is turnover differential, offensive rebounds, forcing 24 second violations, stuff like that. Indiscriminate shooting is bad. I could live with last night being a find your range game for Zinger, but he hurt the team on the offensive end (played some good D though). Mavs win that game if Doncic controls that last possession instead of Zinger launching a bad shot. He’ll need to find his place in the pecking order, especially during crunch time.
Overall though, I was encouraged by last night. Once the Mavs get their roster back and Zinger acclimates to play within the offensive flow, they’ll be a top team in the West, as good as anyone except the Lakers.
