Mason Plumlee has proven to be a somewhat reliable back up center for the Denver Nuggets so far. While he is not supposed to be one of the offensive focal points of the scheme, there is still plenty of room for improvement.
For starters, he absolutely needs to work on his free throw shooting. Per basketball reference, Plumlee shot a putrid 45.6% from the charity stripe. That is as bad as Lonzo Ball’s terrible free throw percentage, let that sink in for a minute.
He also saw a slight dip in his points per game as he averaged 7.
