I'm not trying to ignore the rest of your post, but I wanted to highlight this little part.
I vehemently deny that Robinson is the same. Sure, shooters do have SOME off nights. That is a given but not all misses are created equally. I obviously have a better grasp of THJ and how he plays, but I watch a lot of Robinson too and he rarely, if ever, makes what I call a play born from the JR Smith Basketball camp. In this class of player, these guys also might have more off nights than others, and that's why they aren't paid the max.
But without really getting into the statistical analyses (I'd run a variance test, an ANOVA and add a couple of more shooters like Curry and Hield to compare), we can't definitively say that one is more consistent than the other. However from box score watching, impact on team, and most importantly track record, Robinson is by far and away more consistent than THJ and I didn't think that was a controversial statement nor slander!
And that's my main sticking point. I'm not arguing that THJ isn't a good scorer, he is. It is undeniable that he has talent to put the ball in the hoop. But he is handicapped most by his decision making of when/how to put the ball in the hoop. And it's those kinds of little mistakes that can singlehandedly ruin momentum (or swing it entirely in your favor), and is a randomness I don't think this team needs. I also feel like those kinds of choices build up and can let a game get away from you. KP/Luka does the same thing two so it's amplified when 3 of your best scorers all partake.
I do think they need the scoring that THJ provides, but that's why I'm looking for guys that bring that type or scoring (or at least spacing) that doesn't also bring with them puzzling decision making and wild swings for multiple games.

I was wondering what 1 of those 30+ executive orders Biden signed was for! Now it all makes sense...
