ACE Bailey’s Foul Shooting.

[goru7]

As great and historic a first half ACE had with 24 points on 9-10 shooting , Aaron Breitman has tweeted out a great stat. In the last 6 games ACE is 26-29 from the line for 89.6%.
Before that he was 28-51 for 55%.
Huge improvement and probably our best foul shooter now.
His overall game offensively , defensively , rebounding , shot blocking and assisting has gone to the level of the top pick or top 2-3 pick in the draft. We are lucky to have him and watch his greatness . He will be repping Rutgers for years to come.

Good stat, foul shooting before was horrible.

Seems like it might be just more focus now

He started doing a rhythm move with his legs recently. Seems to have helped.

Keep it going and
Someone teach the rest of our team outside of
Somerville

Maybe being opposite of the idea of being still
He shoots well on the move otherwise

I believe his wrist was bothering him earlier.

It's ironic that our two best free-throw shooters are both 6 foot 10.

He has really started rounding out his game. Rebounding, getting into it more defensively and he's passing a lot more we just don't have finishers. He is definitely showing his ability its pretty fun to watch, more fun when we win.

Good stat, foul shooting before was horrible.

He was good at the start of the season, shooting 76% from the line, then he went 1-8 against Seton Hall and had a few other bad games. He seems to have gotten past that bad streak.

Foul shooting has been a on/off problem for Rutgers this season.Bailey and Somerville have been the most consistent.In very close games the team that makes the foul shots will win the game.

Yes. It IS possible to have your puppies TOO set…especially at the line.
Send it in, Airious!

Wasn't there a pic of him shooting free throws very late after a game where he struggled? Ace seems to want to be great which is the most important thing.

Knees elbows follow through!

I posted in another thread about this, he put some serious work in on his FTs. Shooting long after games were over.

The happy feet is like the waggle in golf. Keeps you from stiffening up and thinking too hard.
