Luka Doncic’s free throw shooting remains a glaring weakness that could hold the Los Angeles Lakers back. For a player who is an absolute master at drawing fouls and getting to the line, Doncic’s inability to consistently convert his free throws is a frustrating and costly issue.
Lakers need Doncic to improve his free-throw shooting
During a preparation game for EuroBasket between Slovenia and Germany, Doncic went just 6-for-13 from the free throw line. He shot it at a 46 percent clip, which is well below what the Lakers will need from their star.
That game marked Doncic’s first “competitive” action since signing his new Lakers contract extension and committing to an intense summer workout and body transformation.
