It's all about improving his all-around game.
“He’s willing to do whatever it takes to be better,” Spurs rookie guard Malaki Branham said. “That’s what great players do.”
“Before I even touched the ball, coach Pop and coach Brown came up and said, ‘You’re shooting with one hand this game,’” Sochan said. “I just did it. It’s more about my development than how it looks. I’m just going to listen to them and try my best.” There have been several players in NBA history with unorthodox free throw styles, including Hall of Famer Rick Barry, who shot nearly 90 percent shooting underhanded in a 14-season career that ended in 1980.
“When I’m doing it with one hand, my elbow’s in tight,” he said. “When I put my guide hand up, my elbow kind of drifts out. That’s what we’re emphasizing.”“He’s just got to be confident, step up to the line and knock it down,” said Vassell, an 81.3 percent free throw shooter this season.
