Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 5386373, member: 1674"] Probably one of my hotter takes: I really don't care about the free throw shooting at all. JJ shooting 68% at the line is far more efficient than basically any other shot our team will ever attempt (aside from a better free throw shooter getting to the line). If JJ could draw a foul every possession, we'd have the best offense in basketball history. Being realistic, yeah, the games where he's shooting below average at the line, it'll hurt when we lose by like 1 or 2 points and you know a better FT shooter would have won it for us, but you have to start shooting closer to 45-50% at the line before it actually becomes a problem compared to most of the shots you get out of half-court offense. It's frustrating because it feels like it shouldn't be that hard to become a good free throw shooter, but bad free throw shooting is still better than good offensive sets most of the time. Totally with you on the 3 point shooting though. [/QUOTE]
