jrue has taken more FG attempts than any PG in the league except for westbrook. he's tenth in the whole NBA. he's the definition of a volume scorer -- someone who puts up big point totals simply because he shoots a lot.

jrue takes 16 FGA a game.
chris paul takes 12.
rondo takes 11.
deron takes 13.
lawson takes 13.

chris paul, hardly known as a mega-physical player, takes exactly twice as many FTs as jrue does per FGA. it's a huge flaw in jrue's game that hasn't changed since he came in the league or assumed more responsibility.

same thing with assists, really. jrue has huge totals, but with about a 2:1 assist/turnover ratio. he hasn't made a leap in ability as much as a leap in usage (although he's taking much better care of the ball now than he was earlier in the season). like having him and the contract is looking great, but he's still got a ways to go to be mentioned with elite guards.
