Parker's Free Throws

[picnroll]

Nobody wants Parker to develop a consistent shot more than me. At the other end of the spectrum would be IceColdBrewski who's life would lose all meaning if he had to praise Parker. That said, it gets a little discouraging when you look through player's stats and see how few are able to significantly and consistently, year to year, improve their shooting percentage, particularly after a year or two in the league.

Here's hoping though.

Redd's three point shooting has gone from .444 to .438 to .350 to .355.

Best candidates I can find so far are LeBron who's gone from .290 to .350 and Johnson who was a career .350 or so to last year .478. Those could be one year phenomenas though, there are lots of those. If so Johnson picked a great year to do it.

"shooter" != "three-point shooter"

Likewise percentage != great shooter.

When Redd came into the league, no one expected him to be much of a scorer. He became that through lots of hard work on his shot.

Did you do any wind spints between shots? Run up and down the court ten times without stopping in a set time limit, then see if you can hit 10 in a row. If you can do that, I'd give you a shot!
