Most PGs seem to shoot 40%-42% these days, unfortunately. Its one of the things that makes Irving stand out- I think he was shooting about 47% in his rookie season- pretty impressive.

That's not true. That's a list of every point guard in the league ranked by FG%; you have to scroll down to 28th, Mike Conley, to find the first PG shooting worse than 43%.

Didn't Felton and also Alan Hahn say that he preferred to pass, but the defense started playing him differently, meaning they took away the pass and kind of forced him to shoot?

Well isn't that part of being aggressive equation..Taking the shot when given...

It's about taking good shots that you can hit consistently. We could build our offense around Tyson Chandler 3-pointers and he'd be open every time, doesn't mean it would help us win games.

What this is saying is that each time he shoots the ball, his team gets less in return than any other team gets from shots by their PGs.

Mario Chalmers, Tony Parker, Russell Westbrook, and Chris Paul.

So only 4 in a league of 30??

Yep, and it's all because of Felton the rest of the team has nothing to do with it. That's why his teams in Charlotte and Portland were always so good.
