How are people saying that Pat Connaughton play was a bad one?

Dude is a 37% 3pt shooter this year

He can shoot, and it was a wide open look. Atlanta allowed Middleton to drive left and he found the open man as he broke down the defense. That’s exactly the type of shot you want, a wide open 3 from a guy with set feet. Way better than some contested garbage from your big 3

I guarantee if that shot went in the narrative would be ‘wow Bud did something for once’.

Anyone on the court must be trusted to hit shots, if they’re not, then they shouldn’t be on the court. These are the kind of shots role players have hit for decades. Famously Pax for the Bulls as I read numerous times a Jordan run team would never allow that

Or last week on the Jazz we saw the Clippers get open shots for Terrence Mann, Batum and Pat Bev. These are role players, and they had a good shot cause the opposing defense was considered with Reggie and PG
