this kid is one hell of a player.

if he can get his free throw % up in the 70's, he would flat out dominate.

very fun to watch as nash hits him with perfect feeds.

His FT% is above 70% and has improved a bit each of the last two years. He probably will settle in as a 70-75% shooter from the line, not bad at all for a big forward. This year he is being more aggressive and getting to the line more, making his game that much tougher to stop. Only thing he needs a little more work on is big defensive stops as he does tend to foul when faced with a one-on-one, but he isn't bad defensively for a 22-year old.

you are exactly right. i thought i heard the announcer say he was around 50 % and i kind of questioned it in my mind , but didnt look it up.

i was playing poker while watching the game.
