I don't think he can get more shots off, due to his size (low release point, by default) and relatively slow release (not Kleber slow, but not THJ fast, either). I still agree with you on all of this, and I think you're asking the right questions about him. He'll never be a GREAT threat because of this, imo.
But in hindsight, OMG, would I rather have him on this roster than Josh Richardson.
On the other hand. I think his overall game is underrated. Not as bad on defense as his reputation suggests. Nice midrange game and good touch around the rim. He knows how to take advantage of his shooting gravity. Fake. Drive. Midrange pull up or floater.
