Each of those guys needs more space, more time.
This is one of the reasons why Timmy is highly valued.
Often, Luka will drive into the paint, the defense collapses, and he passes to someone for a 3-pointer.... but there wasn't quite enough space and time for them to get the shot off. So they reset, pass back to Luka, and it starts again, but this time with a lot less shot clock.
Timmy gets his shot off quicker.
And sometimes the offense fails to deliver a good look at all, and somebody has to jack up a bad shot. Timmy is what, a 20% shooter maybe on such shots? Whereas Reggie and Maxi are pretty close to zeros?
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
