That opinion is ridiculous and doesn't reflect how the NBA works/is nor how coaches see things.
30.7% from three is shooting an eFG% of 46.1%. That's plenty good. Definitely not a sharpshooter, but more than efficient enough to take a rhythm/open three and maybe even be drawn up as 2nd/3rd/4th option for any given plan.
Also if teams know you are only going to shoot it after a broken play, then they back off you and you are a liability. You can't just tell a player who is efficient enough to shoot to not shoot if in rhythm or wide open or you are asking teams to make brutal adjustments.
