Just because the ball is still on the ground doesn't always mean it is a good idea to take a long time to hit a shot, or in this case, to warm up.

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'.
