Again, I am not saying to ignore the jumper. But if, out of 10 shots, you take 6 from A, 2 from B, 1 from C, and 1 from D - why wouldn't you become the best you possibly could be at A?
You ask a guy to work on his jumper for months and then still tell him to just use it when absolutely necessary; I dont see that being possible. You will want to show off all that hard work. And he will never, ever be nearly as efficient from there. Ever.
So, I wouldnt make it a huge priority, partly for that reason. I just don't believe you can improve that list without the unintended consequence of having him take it more, like Ewing and Rondo and countless others.
