For me bricking a contested two while there is another player open on the 3pt line is a bad shot, but to each their own.
Do you prefer a contested shot from KD or a open 3p shot from Okogie?
Do you prefer contested 2 from Ross or open 3 from Warren ? There is a reason Okogie had 10 3pt shots vs Mavs. Open shots are generally better. Even someone like Okogie/Ish will usually hit them when open. Not to mention the morale hit teammates take playing with a black hole. KD didn't do too well on his contested shots vs Celtics. Comparing Ross and KD doesn't sound right at all.
The point is that not always an open shot is better than a contested shot, depends on the player. Ross is a tough shot maker.
You have seen his percentages, very good percentages. Where is the problem? So far so good.
The guy has been in the league for more than 10 years scoring a lot as a bench player. He is known as microwave scorer, no surprises here. In that aspect of the game he is like Jordan Clarkson, Gerald Green...
Edit: About affecting another player's morale...everyone know Ross and how he plays basketball and his skills. They are professionals and know that he is out there to shot the ball.
