Should Jokic be letting it fly more? (alien.top)

Is it just me or does Jokic needs to pull the trigger more on catch and shoot 3s?

Not just because he’s a good shooter from there, but he does this thing where he catches at the 3 line, and even if he’s wide open, tries to bait the defender to close out with a pump fake and drives.

But he does the pump fake and drive into the defender even when the defender doesn’t bite, seems like he refuses to shoot the 3 ball unless wide open, leaving a ton of points on the table. He’s wide open on a ton of these looks though, and his %s indicate he should just let it go.

Then again Jokic is a basketball genius and I can barely make a layup, but maybe someone who knows basketball can answer.

Whilst Jokic is a supremely gifted scorer, but that's not who he is as a basketball player. Much like with LeBron, he will be at his best when he is unlocking his teammates first. That means, when his teammates are good, they're REALLY good.
