I've heard of Atrocious FT shooters who were under 10%.



He is pitiful. Sigh.

I just trained FT over the all star break and had a prominent FT guy shooting 63% after the training he is shooting 96% so never under estimate the power of FT training

I've also had an Atrocious FT shooter shot 17% from the free throw line but make 32% of his threes with awful outside shooting

What you really have is a guy shooting slightly below average before ASB and then slightly above average since the ASB. One training is not the cause for this difference.


Absolutely....as the sample size increases, I'm sure he'll trend toward the appropriate percentage. I'm guessing game shape and maybe experience might also effect the FT percentage.

I have an atrocious free throw shooter. He was drafted last year. He did not make a single free throw until I trained it for one week. I don't know if players can actually have zero skill in something or if it was bad luck and he should have made 5% of his shots or so. After one week of training he is still atrocious though....

My two atrocious FT players are a combined 2-49 on the season. I think they each made their FT the week or so after I trained it for the first time as well.

Also I had a player who had a 0 rating in Stamina once. It still registered as atrocious though. He was 30 and a crappy SF who I cut, Jeff Martin. (2677200)

I trained FT my first 4-5 weeks here, it hasn't improved my team much at all. However, it has improved individuals. I've just switched in the last week or so to train jump shot on my two most valuable players.

A SF currently playing out of position at SG and my PG.

I don't claim to have training figured out, just thought you'd like to know that despite weeks of FT training, most of my team still can't hit from the charity stripe.
