i wonder about the cause of Delfino's bad shot selection. last year, remember, he seemed to have the feeling that you had to shoot (i.e. Delk) a lot when on the court to get minutes in Flip's system. now this year he has the minutes, but I'm sure he's relatively low on the options list in their offensive sets. so perhaps he winds up open with the ball at the end of possessions and is sort of schizoid about whether to shoot or not (i.e. his lingering sense that he must shoot to play makes him shoot, while his sense that he's got the minutes and isn't a high option makes him not want to shoot). if so, that sort of mental thing would definitely add poor results to already poor selection. just a thought.
