In the NBA, the ability to create your own shot separates the stars from the role players.
Let it be said that there’s no shame in being a role player. Still, if you’re dependent on others to generate offense, you are inherently not a featured part of your team’s offense. By definition, you are a role player.
Yet, even the ability to create your own shot doesn’t make you a star. Realistically, star players can create shots consistently and efficiently.
For example, take Caris LeVert. He can create his own shot. Yet, he struggles to do it consistently or efficiently.
For that reason, LeVert couldn’t be considered a star in the NBA for all of his talent.
Could the Philadelphia 76ers target him anyway?
