An emphasis on better Free Throw shooting HAS to be made going forward

This team is a pathetic FT shooting team, and yet, with Zion, we have already seen (and will continue to see) a drastic increase in FT attempts for this team.
Zion attracts a ridiculous amount of attention, and as a result, fouls follow. Which means this team will get into the bonus earlier and earlier. Pair that with Jaxson Hayes's ridiculous ability to draw fouls, and JJ's savvy play.
The difference in the Nuggets game was they went 20-20 from the line, and we shot like 56%. Versus the Celtics, we were in the bonus for almost the entire 3rd and may have been better off not being in it.
It has got to get better for us to win.

Zion's FTs just seem flat. Lots bouncing off the front of the rim. His form isn't too bad. Not like Shaq or anything.
As for the others, the team just doesn't have a lot of natural shooters - they're all very streaky like Holiday minus Reddick.
Shooting was always this team's Achilles. I'm actually shocked they've shot the 3 as well as they have when the only player I'd consider a consistently good shooter is Reddick and maybe Moore. I guess Meli too.

Just so everyone is aware, professional basketball players work on free throws nearly every day. Some guys just can't make them for whatever reason. It's absurd.

i know hayes is going to continue to get better over time but everytime I see him go to the line i know he's gonna split them

The league wide free throw % of the Metairie men’s b-ball D minus league is better then the pelicans. Not exaggerating. I don’t think any of us are shooting free throws in our spare time. Blows my mind .

FT shooting is literally just time practicing and a commitment to it. Gentry isn’t the type to drill that. One of the many reasons he’s a shite coach and you don’t want a players’ coach to run your franchise. We need a drill sergeant to whip these guys into shape, someone meticulous that will fix even the small issues

FT’s are Krooshul for sure
