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?

My theory - some people find the feeling of the certain distance. From that distance it makes sense for them, everything else breaks down in their heads/muscles.

yeah deffo, there's random spots where it just feels easier than others. maybe it's because you've practiced more from there without noticing, maybe its some genetic thing, i dunno. that said its obviously not super usual for someone's ideal spot to be behind the three point line lol

Yea it can even be the same distance from the basket, but different spots on the court, & still have vastly different accuracy %. I can drain buckets from the corners but throw up absolute bricks when shooting from the top of the key
