Our bad FT shooting

Most teams will have one or two "clunkers" for FT shooters. For some reason there are some players who cannot seem to make those relatively easy shots even when they are not defended. However, we seem to have more than our share this season.

Among those who have shot at least 40 FTs:
Lottie 52.9%
Oliver Black 52.3%
Bankston 47.5%
Marcus 43.2%

We have a couple of factors that make us worse than usual. First, usually the clunkers are post players, whereas we have a point guard (of all things!) who can't make free throws. Second, we have a couple of players who are not just bad, but are downright awful, as in cannot make even half of their FTs. And, sadly, those two who fall into the "awful" category are among the top five in FTs attempted.
