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?

I found his stats and the dude was never remotely close to averaging 60% from three. Also better than steph ? Lol Check his stats https://nbl.basketball/hrac/111

These are stats from his tenure in Opava 2001-2003, Czech NBL league, where he played total of 90 games in a span of 3 years, while already being 36 years old, with 2.5/6.4 per game total, on a 40% 3pt shooting.

Guy was the youngest pro at the time (in freakin 80s) that played first pro game at age of 14, for Borac Cacak, in a Yugoslavia that at the time was 2nd to NBA in quality (time of Partizan, jugoplastika)

I will try to find FMP stats but let's just presume that those were different times, and playing in your 36y is not as it is today and you may be in a serious decline ... ?
