He wasn't this bad. The only thing I can think of is he can't handle the role he signed up for and has been forcing shots. Either shooting too quickly, not getting set on shots, or attacking the basket hoping for a call, but often gets in too deep, and gets those drives blocked. Some of the time guys don't drive the basket, so the pass he would normally make isn't there, and he leaves himself no other play but to force the shot. If he just ran point and played defense, he would be great at the 3rd string point. But his lack of confidence in his shot, sucks, and therefore his shooting is absolutely horrible. I don't get all the missed free throws though. He is simply the worst shooter on our team. Monty has to play him with better shooters if he is going to be any use to us.
