The team has to hit jumpers...but they have to attack the offense to even get those open shots. If you don't take it to the rack when it's open...you can't get enough seperation to get open shots.
And you really need someone that will force their way "close" if you have to have a bucket when things are going bad with the jumpers. In other words bball is a game of runs and if the team starts to miss some...others start to miss and you need to play good D and attack the rim when you can.
Jason Terry for example tonight had quite a few shots in teh paint...good stuff...possibly a jumper..but an 8-foot one.
