Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 3854511, member: 1674"] His free throw shooting fell off 3 or 4 years ago now. Weird how stuff like that happens. Not quite as drastic, but Giannis similarly fell off at the free throw line the past couple years. He was horrendous in the playoffs against Toronto and then followed that up the following year by shooting 63% from the FT line when he had generally been around a 75% shooter up until then. This year he's at 69% (a promising 74% since the All-Star break though!) If he can get back to what used to be normal for him, it totally changes the way you have to defend him in the playoffs. If he's hitting around 75%, defenses can't really afford to just hack him all game like they've done the past few years. [/QUOTE]
