Lots of guys can blow past the first defender (like Pinson did), usually they end up taking it to the rim where the help defense is. But if you pull up, you can get an open mid-range before the help arrives. Start nailing those and you force the defense to adjust to help sooner, which opens up the dump off, or allows the driver to continue to the rim, which Amari seems to be able to also do. It just seems like hitting the mid range things opens up a lot more options.
