For the amateur viewer, some shots appear to be 'easy'. But when you're being chased or shadowed by a 6'7" athletic freak, and the speed of the players around you is difficult to measure or anticipate, I could easily argue that there are no 'easy' shots - especially on the road - for anyone.
As a ref, I'm in the mix of low post action 10-15X/week. Freshman basketball is fast...JV is a little faster...varsity is 3X faster than JV. And the D1 prospects I see are 5X faster than the average varsity player. Now add 3 years of development and put 10 of them on the same NCAA court together and tell me a shot is easy...and I'll laugh!
I'm not making these statements from my couch with a Bud Light in one hand and my pecker in the other. I see live action 6 months/year, up close and personal. If Crutcher and JDavis are missing 'close' shots...I get it. But I would never consider them easy. Because they aren't.
