Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 4454252, member: 1674"] I think people tend to overestimate how much of a problem bad free throw shooting is. If the Bucks are up at the end of the game, then yeah, they’re going to want to get the ball to someone else for the intentional fouls. But just over the course of normal gameplay, two free throws for Giannis at 59% shooting on average is still more efficient than basically anybody else on the team taking a normal shot. I’d also venture to guess that he’ll eventually get back to shooting in the 60s or 70s as usual but we’ll see. Free throw shooting only becomes a major problem when you get guys shooting like 30% like Ben Simmons in the playoffs. The bigger issue is that Giannis has just kinda sucked this year outside of dunks. He can’t even make layups right now, much less the mid range jumpers he was making with ease last year. Was awesome last night though so hopefully he’s getting back into the groove again. [/QUOTE]
