Nor does he understand the need to use clock efficiently - these last couple of games the ball just stays with him for longer than some teams' entire possessions. A lot of it is self-inflicted... I don't even think he's a horrible shooter anymore. I just think he's got the worst shot selection of any starting PG not named Zach Lavine. Kemba routinely puts himself in horrible positions to take shots then doesn't understand why the shot isn't falling.
So the other 4 players on the floor standing around with their thumbs up their asses, no ball movement, and no plan of attack, then kicking the ball back to Kemba with 5 seconds on the shot clock is called "Kemba putting himself in horrible positions"? Kemba's off-ball movement isn't phenomenal and his shot selection isn't CP3-like or anything, but this is unfair.
That happens too. I've never said otherwise. There's just plenty of times where he's doing his own thing for a while, kicks to a guy who can't move against the defense, gets the ball back and he's doing it all over again. Nothing Kemba does really forces a defense to move. Before it kinda happened by itself because people liked to throw traps at Kemba high and early (and he'd split them at a really high %) but there's really no point anymore.
Kemba dribbles the hell out of the ball and really doesn't even do anything outside of test the defense at the top of the 3pt line for 4-7 seconds. When's the last time you've seen Kemba drive baseline? Just doing that by itself would force the defense to move.
But seriously though - I don't think Kemba even understands what a bad shot is. He fades for no reason all the time, his feet are a dice roll on every pull-up jumper too. When he's taking good rhythm shots he just looks way better its just that he seemingly goes out of his way to make shots harder.
