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 think the reason for this is probably mental. Shooting in rhythm from 3 is much less stress mentally then standing there with the ball in your hands with everyone just staring at you to take a free throw. Gives you time to think about it as opposed to taking a 3 during the game where you just kind of react.
