Yeah, I wonder if it's a confidence thing now that defenders are closing in on him faster and he doesn't think he'll shoot the same rate or something? But Hali is far and away the 2nd best shooter on the team behind Buddy and on a team with a Fox/Holmes (non/inconsistent spacers), he needs to be launching these open shots and not trying to create all the time. The irony is that once he starts launching a bit, it'll give him a more clear path to the rim where he can create easy shots.
We don't need him launching 10 3's a game like Buddy, but he should pretty consistently be in the 6- 8 range every game. T. Davis for gods sakes, who's played 450 less minutes, only has 24 less 3's taken Hali. Hali is 5th on total 3PA on the team. He's got to be more selfish and take on that spacer role if the starting lineup wants to remain successful
It's not even as if I'm expecting him to take pull up 3s in transition or come off screens for a shot. Literally just take the open kick out 3 that everyone else on the team takes consistently, be it Bagley or Mo or Barnes or Davion or Buddy (well Buddy doesn't get many of such looks) or even Alex frikin Len. No, he swings it to a player who already has a player on them instead or drives into a crowded paint.
