If working hard was enough to reach NBA skills, nobody in the NBA would ever miss a jumpshot, cause playing basketball is probably a lot more fun than being a cleaning lady or a janitor and it pays better, too.Agree to an extent. You can't get better if you don't work hard at it, but the clicking part is the hardest thing involved.
Maybe a different coach can show/teach him a different way and it will just click, but I´d say in 80-90% of cases it´s not a lack of trying, but a lack of being able to execute the task.
Wasn't Luka an 80ish% FT shooter in Europe or something? He comes here and is 73.5% over 3 years. Something's gotta click cause I can't believe Luka isn't working hard to figure it out. I always thought with the "ice in veins" factor he has going on that FTs would never be a problem for him, but here we are.
