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 it’s something we may see more of in the future. I imagine the whole Steph generation of kids have spent far more time working on 3s than FT. It’ll be interesting to see if FT% continues to be a good predictor of 3PT shooting in the future.
Not sure why the downvotes here. I agree.
I grew up before Steph changed everything and even then I focused way too much on shooting 3s. I couldn’t hit a 15 foot jumper shot to save my life but I shot 35-40% from three…and shot terribly from the line for the most part, the few times I actually got to the line.
Some players just have that 3pt shot muscle memory hardwired into them and a lot of shots from inside the arc come secondary. I’m 32 now and when I play pickup still I have an easier time hitting a 3 than making a goddam layup some nights lol
