His net rating actually isn't bad, though I think that's mostly buoyed by playing minutes next to Wood and Green.

This. It's so obvious.
Love him or hate him, THJ is probably either the 2nd or 3rd most offensively polished player on the roster (definitely not lower than 4th) and this team's offense is struggling badly.
The team is desperately hoping that he regains some semblance of his former rhythm. Desperately. He's not going to stop shooting because that's what they want/need him to do. It's the entire reason he's out there in the first place. Ironically, passing up shots is probably the one thing that would get him benched.
