re: I still think this team needs more shooting

The BI regression is one of the hardest things to fathom

If you dig in it seems to be a combo of 2 things:

1.) Lack of secondary elite talent to free up and set up BI most of the year

2) Shot selection emphasis going even stronger to the mid range.

He takes way fewer wide open shots, and is less open this year.

He's still regressed, and that's worrying(down to 36% on C&S from 40% a year ago), but he's still 44% on the year when wide open(though actually regressed since CJ got here, which is also concerning).

Willie also always loved the mid range game, to a fault, and it wouldn't shock me if he told BI to really embrace it.

But with Zion coming back, BI is gonna have more of those looks, and so will everyone.

....just hoping we luck into Mathurin or Sharpe and can develop them like our Simons though.
