I'm sure you could go out there and shoot 90% from the line, but it doesn't come naturally to everyone.

He has one of the best work ethics in the league, of course he practices them.

Stupid thread written in the heat of the game.

In all seriousness though, Dwight needs Mark Price.

Lock?

Price seems like he'd be a good shooting coach, does he have experience?

It's more than that.

Howard probably shoot FTs 10 hours a week. It's not like he doesn't get the correct support or that he lacks effort.

Here's a question: If I jump as high as I can and land on your back, just after you finished wind sprints, how many FTs do you think you could nail? This is the situation of a Center at the stripe.

Steve Clifford serves as our shooting coach, as per me hearing it on the premiere episode of "Inside the Magic."
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.
