Paolo Banchero is shooting 45% from 3's but only 66% from free throws. How is this possible? (alien.top)

Paolo Bachero is shooting 45% from 3 pt on 3 attempts per game and 66% from free throws at 6 attempts per game. How can you shoot 3 pointers like steph curry and free throws like ben simmons?

sample variance mostly but he had a rep as a bad shooter and it means he gets decent shots more often than he probably should be getting. i think teams will adjust when they know his potential is 'a few percent near league average' not 'completely trash.'
