Games like last night won't help him much in the ROY race, as it will only perpetuate the notion that's he's a volume shooter, as opposed to an effectent one, but if that style keeps helping the Jazz win games, then so be it.
On the other hand, if they lose thier next couple in a row and he's still shooting like that, then maybe it's time to slow down on the threes. Till then, keep doing what's winning you games

Agreed. I don’t think he’s a volume shooter though. He’s able to get to the rim and explosive. I think he’s tired. Shots coming up short. Not finishing at he rim. Not dunking what he usually does. Coming into the NBA with the extended season/dunk contest and having to carry the load. just seems he’s slowly declining from exhaustion. Could be wrong. That’s just what I gather from watching him play. His shots are usually on line. Just short. He’s not elevating like he usually does either.
I don’t think it mattered in ROY running though. That has been Simmons award to lose.
