I agree BI should take more but at some point there needs to be an acceptance as a player thats not who he is. He might have random games against shitty teams where he does but majority of time he doesn’t shoot 3s. Him and Zion are technically inside players. If thats the case you need to play more shooters in your lineup even if they are defense deficient to a degree. I mean basically this team isn’t constructed properly nor is it coached properly.
Our best 2 players who have the highest usage rates on our team average a combined total of 4.1 3pt attempts per game.
That would make us pretty darn unique. Without looking, I'd imagine there's no other playoff level team even near that number, and I'd go further and guess we haven't seen that or very few times in quite a number of years.
All that is to say, if your 2 highest usage/best players don't shoot 3s, it's hard to think that the best version of your team is to only have 2 volume shooters in your rotation.

I did this exercise. Jimmy and Bam were the only other duo i came up with. The difference is both those guys are incredible defensive players so you can afford to put some poor defenders who shoot a high volume of 3s around them.
While BI and Zion have been playing better defense, i still wouldnt call them good defenders so you need to surround them with guys who are both good defenders and high volume shooters. Basically much much much harder to do

The year they won the championship
Giannis (3.6) and Middleton (5.4)
Zion (0.3) and BI (3.9)
The difference here is more on Zion, not BI, and Giannis shoots below 30% from 3, so not sure you can say him taking more than Zion does anything more positive for them than us. All 3.6 of his 3's was a huge victory for the defense.
