I think of TS% as a decent baseline and part of the equation. You don't need a good ts% to be valuable, and just having a good ts% doesn't mean you're automatically valuable.
You obviously need good d, rebounding, and ball movement, otherwise you're not really getting the easy shots that lead to the high ts%. So you can have a guy like Kidd - who can't really shoot - but Ds up very well, rebounds very well, and passes very well. He's going to be very valuable because, even if he doesn't score at a high efficiency, he limits the other team's efficiency and leads to better looks for other guys.
I mean guys who can create their own shot are valuable, because in certain situations they'll be a better option. And I give a certain amount of weight to the idea that surrounding guys with better players will up your efficiency. But guys who are shoot first players will always be shoot first players, even on good teams.
