This really shouldn't come as a shock to you, however.
There is a part in the game I watch very closely, and I'm guessing 85-90% of players just don't understand clock management. It's really unfathomable.
When a team receives possession of the ball with roughly 35-40 seconds left in a quarter, and instead of getting off a quick shot, guaranteeing themselves two out of the final three possessions, they wait until the clock gets under 24 seconds, allowing the other team the last shot. It's mind-boggling how this happens all the time.
There is only one player who understands this, and hurries to get the shot off to insure another possession. And that's Chris Paul.
