Free throws... the great & the ugly

[PiscatawayMike]

Simpson is a perfect 14-for-14 (100%).

Woolfolk is 6-for-17 (35%). Rashod Kent territory...ugh.

If that doesn't improve, he can't be on the court at the end of the game

Overall Team Free throw shooting except for Simpson has been awful again.

If Cliff and Woolfolk get 1 of 2 - I’m happy!

 

[RUChoppin]

Other than Woolf, Davis, and Omoruyi, we're doing great! lol

 

[Scangg]

Wolf vs Myles in a FT contest. Must see TV

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

I guess the good news is that end of game offensive players on the court could include Fernandes, Simpson, Hyatt and Griffiths. Four good Free throw shooters. Of course, Cliff is Cliff.

Didn't Wolf shoot them ok last year?

Wolf is Myles Johnson level bad. That said, his arc is better, he just puts it up too hard. It always bounces off the rim. Myles used to line drive it at the backboard.

 

[new jersey1_rivals661559]

Agree. His delivery and arc look good. Just a bit too forceful. His % should improve.

 

[RULoyal]

Would be interesting to know what his percentage is in practice (not during a game).

 

[PatrickRU92]

Wolf has good form. He'll be OK

 

[rubjk]

Wolf knows it and has been taking extra reps in warm ups.

I think Cliff's a decent free throw shooter, even though he's been spotty this year. His form looks good. Davis' form looks good, so does Gavin's. I'm pretty certain we'll be better at the end of the year. And how about Simpson? I don't think any of his 14 have even touched the rim!

It’s our yearly discussion that free throws will cost us 2 games and that unfortunately is what can keep us out of NCAA’s if we are close

He just hit the back rim on his second to last one the other night right after I said the exact thing to my daughter, that he has not hit the room at all

 

[MadRU]

Hyatt’s been very good.

Disappointed that Gavin missed all 3 FTs against GTown.

Needs to take his time.

HC Pike did an excellent job of going offense-defense with Gavin and Woolf to end the Georgetown game.
