There are days when he'll facilitate more, but he had his offense going pretty good most of the night, and Jeremy didn't seem to be presenting himself well off of screens (and had some issues with his hands today - he didn't have enough ball toughness). He also had two late turnovers on clearouts yesterday and had a shot blocked in OT today so he perhaps wasn't demanding the ball as much as maybe he will later in the season (I also thought Jeremy should have caught the first alley-oop, but he went up with one hand). I actually thought the passes to Drummond were the worst decisions Shabazz made, due largely to the fact that FSU would have put Drummond on the line in a heartbeat even if he made those catches. And Tyler was having a rough day with the ball in his hands too, so there weren't many guys to facilitate out there down the stretch. The three that Donny called a hero shot I thought was a good clean look, on balance from the top of the key, stepping into it. I'll take that every time. The last one he took at the end of regulation down three was a little rushed, but keep in mind that if you let the clock get down around five seconds, the other team may decide to foul you and you'll never even get a chance to tie it. There's just not enough time to run anything or be patient, and sometimes the offensive rebound scramble results in a better look (such as today, or Arizona last year at the buzzer against us).
All that said, the last two days he has been very shaky at the end of games, so there's plenty of room to get better. But late game situations arent supposed to be easy - the other team is playing their hardest defense of the night, and even the best of guards will end up looking bad at times (i.e. Kemba a couple times last year), so it'll take him some time to get used to that role.
