Smith is averaging over 1 3 pt attempt per game this season. He has taken 8 3s in his last 10 games. That is more than Amare has taken all season.
He has no business being out there in the first place.
You're manipulating the numbers. First of all, Josh is averaging one three pointer a game because he was heaving them up like he was Dirk earlier in the season (I remember discussing this and he was taking like 2.5 a game as of a couple of months ago). Secondly, Josh has only taken 12 treys in 28 games (starting in mid-January). He has quite obviously been catching the ball inside the perimeter the vast majority of the time. He is very rarely outside the three point line nowadays... finally.
While dumb shots are still something that are a part of his game, the three pointer situation is a complete non-issue at this point. Could he have possibly figured out to stop heaving up those treys on his own?

Even taking 8 threes in ten games isn't a big deal for a guy that was taking 2.5 a game earlier in the season.
