The questions are
1. Can they do it often or not?
2. Can they make the shot with a high degree of accuracy?
It is in my opinion more accurate to say. He can create off of the dribble, which people say.
He can create by clearing out space, which people say.
He can create by getting open, which people say sometimes. For example Rip Hamilton has never been known to have especially good handles. However, people say that he gets open by running behind and off of screens which is true.
You could say Amir creates his shot with his extreme energy and athleticism which is also true.
In may opinion the blanket catch all phrase "he can create his own shot" is just like that dumb term "role" player".
If on the other hand when you use the phrase he can create his own shot to mean that a player can get into a good position with the ball with a good deal of frequency to shoot and make a high percentage of his shots regardless of how he gets into that position then I would accept it as a valid term.
just my opinion.
