For as gifted as John Wall is as a player, one of the areas where he’s struggled to maximize his athletic gifts is as a free throw shooter. He shoots a little below what you’d like at the stripe (he’s a career 78.9 percent shooter at the stripe) and he’s never averaged more than 6.2 free throw attempts per game.
This season, Scott Brooks wants to change that, as he laid out to Candace Buckner of the Washington Post:
“I think he should be a high free-throw” shooter, Brooks said, then tossed out a range of seven to 10 free throw attempts per game.
