You are dug in on this, and I can respect that. 

I’m just saying that if we have learned anything from watching guys like Green and Exum, we should know that percentage isn’t everything.

Mvossman made a point to me earlier about how Jones’ percentage didn’t improve that much this year, only that’s misleading, because his ATTEMPTS (code for willingness to shoot, which is code for finally understanding what it takes to stay on the floor) increased significantly. In that set of circumstances, even maintaining a percentage from one year to the next is actually a huge IMPROVEMENT, percentage wise, if you follow my meaning. 

I think Green and Exum both shoot well. They just won’t do it enough. You have to make yourself a credible threat on offense somehow.

In regards to Thybulle, I also pointed out that he takes more attempts than DJJ (even after DJJ raised his attempts by 50% here).  Thybulle actually shoots more often than all of DJJ, Green and Exum, and I would expect that to increase if he were playing with Luka (although I do realize that part of that is because he doesn't do much else offensively).
