Look past the fact that it didn't drop through the net, which jumpers do at best only about 45% of the time anyway, and it was a well designed and very well executed play for the situation.

I have to disagree that any play is "well designed" when it involves not a single pass and a fallaway jumper by a guy who hasn't hit a shot in 12+ game minutes and has a very recently injured hamstring.

He's making plays for others, directing traffic on offense, challenging shots on the interior. The guy's doing everything he can out there, and as far as I'm concerned, he's one of the guys keeping the team afloat right now. At least that's the way it looks to me. And judging by RC's reaction to his temporary injury absence last night, I daresay I'm not the only one who sees it that way. If you want him to do less, tell some of the other guys to start doing a little bit more.

I don't disagree with most of this, but my concern isn't about him creating his own shot. He's still a good shot creator, and I wish he'd do it even more. I'm concerned about his unnecessarily quick shooting hand on long-range jumpshots early in the shot clock that really aren't all that open. He is frequently way too eager to shoot with the slightest bit of airspace, even when there's plenty of time left to work for a better shot (whether himself or for one of his teammates).
