A lot like free throw shots. It is a worthwhile experiement to play more like a 'jump shot'. See the shot, step in, fire. Too much time warming up, or too much time for each shot, and you give up the benefits of reacting to a target. The human mind/body is much better when it can react. There is, of course, a balance between properly preparing, and rushing. I suspect in the case of Davis Love, he is clearly already 'prepared' - and was able to get into 'reacting to his target'.
