The % is the %, no matter how many shots he takes in the game. Shooting more or less can affect that number, but there is no amount of surety which direction it will go. So that’s in game, then when you go to in-season, that’s closer to a true indication as to where he ends up if he shoots more.
Second, we’ve seen the effects of Luka freezing his teammates out during games. We don’t need MORE of that.
Third, when he takes a deep 3 with 18 seconds left on the shot clock, that is not “making all the right decisions when to pass and when to shoot”.
Fourth, the point of having more ball handlers is to give Luka needed rest throughout the game so he can be less tired in the fourth to take over. If he is shooting MORE, the reason to have 3 ball handlers is diminished significantly.
Of course it is better to shoot less and with better percentage. Thats totally obvious and everyone will agree. However: Easier said than done.
Its no wonder Lukas shooting number increase during each season, the more repetitions and shots he gets. He even takes shots all the time during breaks in games, as he knows himself this very effect of shooting more gets one to shoot better.
Its all about gametime situations. If they give single matchups. Luka should attack and shoot even more. If they double he will pass. He is doing all the right things, his decision making is the best in the league by a wide margin, its the closest to Tom Brady in this sport. I would like him in single team situations to shoot more and attack rim less, this will increase his shooting percentage closer to playoffs. Closer to playoff time and in playoffs he should attack the rim more in single team situations as well as keep shooting.
