Wut? I could probably shoot them blind and hit better than 1-10.

Time for granny style.

Maybe he will realize that if he can't shoot unguarded from 15 feet that he shouldn't be shooting 3 pointers at all.

Hes never gonna stop shooting jumpers we know that for sure. How do you have a whole summer to practice and you can get better and the most fundamental part of the game. Wasnt this kid a 70% shooter for the early part of his career??

A major portion of free throw shooting is focus, concentration, and confidence. With Josh when things go wrong they tend to snowball rather than right themselves. He's capable of shooting a reasonable percentage (around 70%), but he'll never develop into a great FT shooter. Until he gets his head straight on the subject 50% is more likely than 70%.

By season:
68.8%
71.9%
69.3%
71.0%
58.8%

Josh picked his FT shooting back up towards the end of the regular season and then was fine in the playoffs last year. I'm hoping that would be a sign of a return to 70% this year, but 1-10 is certainly not a good sign.
