When the opposing defense refuses to cover you, you should be the team leader in that stat. I'd rather have Kidd bench him for building a brick house than his teammates begging him to shoot. Yes, Utah wants him to shoot every time, but the worst thing you can do is not exploit that and then let them play 5v4 against your offense. Not shooting hurts the rest of the team. Goodbye spacing. Goodbye driving lanes.
