It’s a comfort and confidence thing for BI. Most of his shots come off the dribble and he like to get to his spots where he’s confident he can make shots …the 3pt line is that spot
It's also a role thing. He was asked for large stretches to play point in Willie's plodding offense. That means he spends his effort probing the paint and dishing to cutters and open shooters. That means he isn't standing there waiting for open catch-and-shoot opportunities. Him putting up more 3s will likely reduce assist opportunities as much as it reduces middies, because it doesn't demand the defense to help vertically.

Stop it. You’re basically saying because he has the ball more he doesn’t have the opportunities to shoot more 3s? I’m sorry the excuses are getting a little silly now.
A lot of the BI supporters are just hanging on to what he said to the media at the end of the season. Its a bunch of hogwash honestly.

I agree with you about the lack of a point guard and CJ's limitations. I agree with you regarding Willie's WTF offense. But, Ingram spends literally zero effort probing the paint. And while he makes some nice passes to cutters, he fails to see the cutter, or ignores the cutter, the vast majority of the time.
The only way Ingram was going to maximize this team was to become a point guard looking to facilitate first, while also being a willing spot up shooter. He doesn't want to do either of those things. Because of this, he has more value to this team as a trade asset then he does as a player.
