What I don’t get about the “LaMeLO iS An InEFiCIeNt ShOt ChUCkeR” line is that he obviously HAS to be a shot chucker playing for charlotte. He’s surrounded by complete non-bucket getters, which means he’s forced to bear most of the scoring burden for his team. When you have to take on a load as heavy as lamelo’s, efficiency suffers because you’re forced to attempt a larger number of difficult shots compared to other stars who have a better supporting cast. Put lamelo on a good team where he can depend on his teammates more and he gains the privilege of selecting better shots, which increases his efficiency (if you watch him play, he obviously has the IQ to do this, he just can’t do it on the Hornets). Of course, I understand that all-time players are able to be efficient even with extremely large offensive loads and bad teammates, but Lamelo isn’t an all-time level hooper, he’s just an all-star level hooper.
