Well, he's unreliable right now because he has a right elbow injury. Other than that, though, he's shot very well since comming here. I don't see a problem with 17-20 shots a night. The problem is more that him at SG while Carmelo is at SF limits their productivity. You put AI at SG while carmelo is out, because when their together, running AI at point gives them a better opportunity to work for, and off each other, which draws the defense into them, and gives their teammates open looks.
Playing them at SG and SF puts them on opposite ends of the court, which stagnates the offense.
Also, putting AI at point solves the defensive issues that running him and blake together presents.
