Andre Drummond Sets Dubious NBA Record

Was fouled intentionally 21 times.

Shot 36 FTs.

Broke Wilt's record for missed FTs when he missed 23.

One player fouled Drummonds 5 times in 9 seconds and 12 straight times to start the second half.

The Rockets fouled Andre Drummond on purpose 12 straight times to begin the 2nd half, and it worked - SBNation.com

I feel pretty confident he could shoot a better % underhand. I would be forcing him to do that if I was the owner or coach.

Almost every shot is at least a foot too long.

Relevant factoid. Drummond missed 23 of 36 for the game.

Steph Curry has missed 22 of 237 for the season.

:banghead:

Shouldn't be a pro if you can't make a foul shot.

Luckily for Wilt a few NBA teams didn't share your thoughts.

True, but Wilt was a freak.

Isn't that why there is a backboard?

Ironic that it was the Rockets with Dwight Howard choosing to intentionally foul a poor shooter.

Wouldn't you think a guy that bad at shooting FT's would consult someone like Rick Barry and get some help. Barry basically put out a guaranty a few years ago that he could take ANY NBA player and turn him into a 70-75% or better shooter in just a few sessions I believe. Of course they would shoot them underhanded. Is it more embarrassing to shoot 30% or to shoot 75% underhanded.

Also, if I was a coach, I would MAKE a guy shooting that bad from the line go see Rick Barry. A coach should do anything he can to make his players better.

Drummond isn't Wilt level but he is probably a top 4 to 5 center in the league now.

Not the record of Wilt's I would want to attain.
