I understand the argument, and was thinking something similar myself.  However, I trust KG as a professional to know when he's "feeling it", and when it's better to pass up a shot.  I don't want to see a great player start forcing shots with other great players on the team.

Basically, if KG's instincts tell him not to shoot, then I don't want him shooting.

The question is, why does Baby think since he replaced KG in the starting lineup that he should be taking more shots than him?  He's not even close to being as good as KG, nevermind better.

Baby's lack of ability to move the ball isn't a huge deal when he's stealing shots from our bench, but when guys like Paul and Ray and Shaq are waiting it's a pretty big problem.
