In the NBA, no matter who it is, if they want to become an elite scorer, they have to be able to get to the free throw line on a consistent game-in and game-out basis, especially as a guard. The best perimeter scorers have lived at the free-throw line from Michael Jordan to James Harden.

Jalen Green hopes to one day be mentioned with some of the great scorers, and we saw him take a big step toward this past season. Green went from 17.3 points per game in his rookie season to 22.1 points a game in his second year.
