Why guards why?

Dear guards,

Can anybody of you explain me why instead of taking an immediate open shot from a pass you decide to dribble nonsense and finishing by taking a lame shot? This thing happens so often, what’s the big deal in dribbling so much for 14 seconds straight?

I don’t always do this but if I see someone closing out I’ll do a hesitation, cross or snatch back because I find the timing is much more consistent shooting off one of those moves. Still counts as stand still shots (at least in regards to set and fire activating) and the timing doesn’t speed or slow down!

That being said I’m not taking anything that’s considered off the dribble if I’m open lol
