Dwight Howard hoping offseason perimeter work improves free throw shooting

The big guy is leaving no stone unturned in his quest to become a better free throw shooter.

There has been no shortage this summer of videos that show new Atlanta Hawks center Dwight Howard working on a perimeter jump shot. While Howard isn’t necessarily looking to take his offensive game away from the basket, he is hoping that an improved shooting stroke will lead to improvement at the free throw line.

If Howard can show any improvement at the line, it will be huge for the Hawks this season. Howard is a career 57 percent shooter at the line.
