That to some degree creates an artificially high league wide ts% which sort of penalizes everyone else who are actually the ones asked to run offenses and take the big shots when teams need points in the last few minutes of games while also creating a lot of those easy shots for those bigs.
I think what I'd say is that TS Add certainly shouldn't be used as the end-all, be-all, and most definitely if two guys are in fundamentally different roles, you have to be very careful.
I'll also add that while in general I think it's excellent at comparing, say, volume scorers, it's not like I'd recommend saying Dantley > Jordan.
But there are times when this can really give you a sense of why a guy may or may not have had the impact you'd expect by scoring volume. Baylor had nothing like the impact of Oscar & West, and I'd say the fact that his TS Add is drastically lower than them points to one of the reasons why.
