On top of everything else here, NBA players are supposed to take the first good shot available, not spend the whole shot clock looking for the best possible shot. Couple reasons: the quicker your trigger, the more the defense has to bite on pump fakes/close out hard. As soon as your opponent thinks you might hesitate on an open shot, they can help a lot more on defense and also start baiting you into bad shots by waiting for your hesitation and then closing out. Also more passes/actions = more opportunities for turnovers.
