He could help his own cause

B. J.  Gladden of Georgia Southern leads their team in FT attempts with 49. This is not because he is a particularly dangerous shooter, because in fact he is a pretty bad shooter. Nor is it because he plays a lot of minutes, because he is only fifth on the team in that category. Nor is it because he is a gigantic post player, because he is 6-6. The key fact in discovering the reason for this statistical curiosity is no doubt the fact that he shoots only 46.9% from the line. He could solve his own problem, if he doesn't like shooting so many charity shots.
