It’s rare that I find myself revisiting the same topics for articles with any real regularity, but Giannis Antetokounmpo’s free throw shooting is important enough to the Milwaukee Bucks’ postseason prospects that I’m making an exception on this occasion.
Having explored Giannis’ performance at the line just 10 days ago, specifically how he fared when the San Antonio Spurs opted to foul him rather than allowing him to get to the rim, there’s already reason to consider additional positive signs when it comes to the reigning MVP’s free throw shooting.
Antetokounmpo is enduring comfortably the worst free throw shooting season of his career, which is particularly problematic given that he’s averaging a career-high when it comes to the volume of his attempts from the line per game.
