Johnson's shooting slows Hawks' offense

Since returning from surgery Dec. 2, Johnson is shooting 39 percent (51-of 132) from the field, including 29 percent (12-of-42) on 3-pointers.

For his career, Johnson has shot 44 percent from the field overall and 37 percent on 3-pointers. Drew notes that Johnson is still sharing the ball -- he's averaging seven assists in eight games since returning -- but he has the lowest shooting percentage among Hawks regulars while taking the most shot attempts per game.

He has no idea how to play if hes not making his shots. I understand that shooters have supreme confidence but his over-shooting hurts this team.
Is it to much to ask for a team that plays hard and cares? Seems so.
