It's often just a case of a guy not working at it or practicing. 2. What's often overlooked, though, is that yeah, you or I may be able to shoot 80% from the line in a gym or something. It's a hell of a lot different when you're involved in a fast-paced game, only to have the game completely stop to shoot free throws - you lose rhythm.

Still, practice should get them to a respectable percentage. 2 things:
