Could have sworn that Seble made a change to the engine that when a player took more than half the shots (or had more than 50% of the distro, not quite the same, I know, but close), his percentages/efficiency/accuracy/output, whatever you want to call it, started to get progressively worse. 
Do you see how good this player is? That could be the case, maybe if he were only taking 17 shots a game his TS% would be 70, his ratings in the 5 scoring areas are:

Ath: 66
SP: 97
LP: 36
Per:100
BH:91

At D1 this guy would do well, let alone in D2. He's an absolute monster.

This strategy can get you wins, but not championships.  (note that 1st round NT game was a loss).
Disagree completely. It's not like the guy is inefficient, he has a true shooting % of 64.2%, which is absurdly good. The loss was a huge upset, and if you notice there are 2 other guys that average 13.9+, again with both being efficient. Upsets happen, regardless of strategy and this was one of them. Would a better strategy be to give guys who aren't as efficient as Buchanon more shots just for the sake of balance? 
The problem I see with this strategy is if the 2nd option is in foul trouble or the sim simply distributed shots favoring #1, #1 option gets too much distro and becomes inefficient. That's pretty much what happened to this team, with a 30ppg scorer:

Definitely a fair assessment, I've had this happen before, really sucks when you have 1 guy take 20 shots who you would prefer take 12 but because of foul trouble or total randomness he takes way more shots.

He's good, but I would argue George Valasquez is as good and a National Champion because he played team ball.  9 shots a game, 65% eFG.

Ath 82
Spd 95
LP 20
PER 91
BH 84

Plus Valasquez is just starting his senior year so he'll probably gain a few more points.
