Thats cause Dragic is only shooting 13.4 shots per game, while Dion, & Winslow are shooting 14.1/14.2- while shooting in the mid 30'%.
They both need to shoot less, & let Dragic, & Whiteside shoot more.
Dragic is shooting 13-14 shots-per-game because of his inability to break down a set defense consistently. The ability to create halfcourt shots is a skill itself. It takes more planning & skill than scoring fastbreak points. Not to confuse this with actually finishing at the rim or shooting.
I dont think you understand what i am saying. I am saying that with Dion playing with him is like when Wade played with him. He wont be as aggressive out of respect/personality. All you have to do is watch the game when its crunch time. Dion starts to handle the ball more while Dragic becomes a secondary player. Its about Dion having the killer instincts while Dragics balls start to shrivel up his cohones.
Honestly Dragic doesn't really like to force shots. He only takes them when he feels he can finish. That's why even in his All NBA third team season he only averaged just over 14 shots ( but was more efficient as he is so far this season ).
Now do I wish he was more aggressive and take some shots that Dion does? Yes.
Do I wan't him to turn into Dion and take a bad shot every time he feels like it, with low %? No.
I do believe Dragic will get his 2% up as the season goes along ( his mid-range isn't clicking right now ) to somewhere above 45-46%, and his production will be closer to 20&8 than it is now even with Dion in the line-up. ( If that happens with the Heat or on another team, remains to be seen if rumors are to be believed )
