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?

The frontal cortex is to blame. In split second physical actions, the frontal cortex doesn't have time to get involved. At the free throw line, there is plenty of time for the frontal cortex to do it's thing, and that's the exact opposite of what's needed to perform a practiced physical motion.
