Shot selection: Lillard's weakness

[Labinot41]

I have criticized Lillard in the last few weeks that he has a bad 3 point percantage (only 34% at one time). Now he improved at 39.1%, thats his best 3 point% since 13/14, and his fg% is at 44.9% (career high). Gotta give him credit, hopefully he can keep the level. We'll see

He seems to be shooting a lot less deep 3s.

Lillard shouldn't get a pass for bad shot selection when he's guilty of it; and he's been guilty off it at times over his career

at the same time, the offense Portland runs for Dame is basically, give him the ball and let him create his own....and oh by the way, have him run the team offense at the same time. All this happens while he's being doubled regularly and opposing teams heavily tilt their defense toward Dame. That's a really heavy burden on his shoulders, so occasional bad shot selection seems inevitable.

sure, sometimes those 30' three's early in the shot clock are irritating, and I wish he'd cut those way down. But mostly, it's a forgivable sin considering all he does and what he's meant to the team
