Dissatisfied with his free-throw shooting as a freshman, Marcus Garrett went to work on his technique last summer and into the fall.
Tinkering with his form has helped the 6-foot-5 Kansas sophomore from Dallas turn his 49 percent average into a 65.8 mark through 13 games in 2018-19.
“I actually took Devonté’s free-throw routine, with him taking three dribbles. I used to take one,” Garrett said after connecting on 3 of 4 free throws in the second half of KU’s 70-63 victory over Oklahoma on Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
Devonté Graham, who is now a rookie with the Charlotte Hornets, connected on 82.
