Even if there's a 20% chance that shot goes in (and I'd argue it's a bit higher with Carter), that's a shot you take every single time, given the time on the clock.

Why would we want a rushed shot which by definition a 2-1 opportunity is versus a solid shot?
This is a false choice. You're not choosing between "a score" versus "an extra possession." Thig has explained this, though.
