Numerical proof from stathead of the degree of the alien tint to Wembanyama's tendency to insist on threes regardless of his shooting night. On occasion of his latest 0-fer or low percentage night (0 for 8, game 1 of round two, versus Wolves in San Antonio) 

Yeah... "Just shoot!" can make sense, for that right role, or when it is hitting, or when there is only so much your body and skill set can offer.

But even then there are limits on nights where it is just not happening.

And when you have potential for outlier performance with other scoring strategies ( like lobs, post-ups, pick and rolls, putbacks), more of a reason to abandon what isn't working. 

Wemby could just be "Super Gobert" with almost no offensive responsibilities, and be the basis for a well constructed championship team. But if he's gong to have the offensive gravity they're allowing, then this is an area of improvement that could reap big rewards.

GSG!
