Not sure if you read the article before responding but I'm not sure what selling has to do with anything.

If you want more fundamentals being taught I would think needing more players who can make plays vs RUN plays would be a positive the shot clock could bring.

Oh and just to be difficult: KD played in Maryland where they had a shot clock.
