I listed all those guys. SGA doesn't take the 3's, but he gets to the rim a lot more than BI does, and the other guys that shoot as many mid range shots as BI might not get to the rim as much either, but they shoot a lot more 3's.
It's not that BI doesn't take enough 3's, or doesn't get to the rim enough. It's that he doesn't take enough 3's AND he doesn't get to the rim enough. If he simply did one of those a bit more it would help tremendously.

Exactly. And all of that is amplified as a co-star to a high usage player that shoots 75% of his shots at the rim and 1.5% from the perimeter. All the guys you listed either get to the rim or shoot more 3's than BI and generally also have co-stars that shoot 3's, defend, and rebound more than Zion.
