This is simply not accurate.
The intial criticism about creating shots was overstated but on point. Kevin is largely a dependent scorer, not an independent one. Why he is a #2 or a #3. He scores off off the ball movement. He scores out on the break, by leaking out. He scores when working off of picks. He scores when spotting up. But now put him out on the wing, defender in front of him down in a stance, and Kevin normally passes. He simply lacks the ballhandling skills to create a shot for himself out of nothing. He has to have an angle or an edge or somebody setting him up. He's very good at finding those opportunities, but its radically different than what a Kobe or Wade can do and makes him much more dependent on teammates, on systems, on plays called etc.
No, YOU are not accurate.
In my post, I admitted that Kevin does score his fair share of points moving without the basketball and off the break. However, like ALL efficient scorers, he can score in a multitude of ways.
A great deal of the time, he IS creating his own shot. Before Artest and Bibby both returned, Kevin was averaging somewhere around 10-11 FT attempts a game. A majority of those foul attempts were the result of beating his man off the dribble. So, estimating here, around a 1/3 of his 23+ point average comes from the FT line because he beat his man off the dribble. Yes, I know there are some instances when his FT attempts aren't the result of beating his man off the dribble, but that is probably off-set by the amount of times he beats his man and scores without being fouled.
One way or another, a good share of his scoring is the result of his ability to create for himself.
It seems many want to lump Kevin into a certain category simply because he doesn't demand the ball or become a blackhole on offense. Does Tim Duncan really ever demand the ball? He has essentially the same demeanor on the court as Kevin (no, I'm not comparing their effectiveness or b-ball skills). Just because someone is stoic, isn't a blackhole on offense, and is more than willing to pass and play team ball doesn't mean they aren't a go-to player and can't create for themselves.
In Duncan's case, he never has to demand the ball (even though he wouldn't) because his teammates are coached to rotate the ball back to him if he passes out of a double-team that doesn't result in an easy scoring opportunity for someone else.
Kevin's teammates aren't doing that. When he passes out of a double-team, either Artest, Salmons, or Bibby usually force a one-on-one attempt. If Martin started forcing shots when double-teamed, most fans would start criticizing him just like they do Artest. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
