To Shoot, Or Not To Shoot?

A player's individual talent not withstanding, each player must be a scoring threat on the floor. However, the question is to shoot or not to shoot? Below are variables you must instinctively think about as you square up and face the basket.
1. What is my shot range?
2. How well am I being pressured?
3. Do I have good balance?
4. Are there better shots available?
5. Do I have teammates in position to rebound?
6. What is the score?
7. How much time is left?
