And I remember when the press went nuts after Lew Alcindor changed his name. The LA Times headline even read, “Basket by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!” Nowadays the sports world is so world-wise and accepting of all nations and cultures. It’s great.
Context for the FT number matters. 1.6 FTA per game. Made 33/52. 19 misses over 33 games. 15 games didn’t attempt a single FT. Had a season high 7/7 against FSU in early March.
Wwwweeeellllllll, going back to FR year in Ames, he’s a career 61% FT shooter. While sure, not a huge sample size, it’s probably fair to say “hopefully” it’s not a concern. ;-)
If you leave him open its $$$.
He also showed the ability to put it on the deck and get into the paint…same with Cooper, and also seemingly a strength of RS FR Ruff.
Like the length of the new Bears. Now we need to work on length time in the program.

Need those shooters!
The stroke from the charity stripe is a concern.

Ultimately to say not a concern.

Definitely expect better from a guard. Doesn't take too many FTs, though.
82% (14-17) last 7 games, which included 6 double-figure scoring efforts (14 ppg).
Along with Cooper, your next MM career-elevation projects.
Nice pick up. Much needed scoring on the wing.
