Luka Doncic: One flaw at the free throw line
I, like you, would love to see him improve as a free throw shooter; however, the group they compare him at shoots 85% vs his 73% last year. At 7.1 attempts per game that means he would go from 5.2 makes per game to 6.0 makes per game, improving his scoring average by 0.8 pts per game.
Would this really change the way teams guard him? I don’t recall any hack-a-Luka last year.
Would it really change the outcome of many games? I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but how many games were decided by 0.8pts or less?
This just seems like ESPN really reaching to find something for him
