Austin shot 70% from the line his senior year in high school. He shot 55% from the line this season.
How does that happen?

Nerves.

That damn elbow...
When you go from being considered a #1 HS recruit to being called a bust and historically bad by the nation, those things tend to mess with you.
This, I watch Rivers warm up before the games and he makes most of his free throws. It's in his head
I predict 76% next year. We'll see. That's still not fantastic, but it's going the right way.
College %?
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

65.8%
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Thanks. Then I believe he will be a 70 Ish percent shooter. Not going to panic. The op is a good question though. 15 percent is a lot.
All mental. But he needs to work on his form.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
What was it the second half of the season?
Wherehappens.
Not any better than the first.

Post all-star was 46% but that was nine games.
A lot of it is nerves and his shooting technique, for sure, but it is also the jump from the high school/college to the pros. The arenas they play in are massive and, I don't know if any of you have ever shot a ball in a big arena, it's not easy to shoot in there as it is in a small gym. As I think will be the case with most of Austin's game, once he calms down and slows down and takes the preassure off he will be a good player.
he and Xavier both need to enroll in Confidence 101....I have said it before, but this offseason is going to be very, very important for Austin....
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
The best example would be Nick Anderson... he was an 80% FT shooter until he missed those FTs in the finals... dude was 30% after that.

70% for a guard is terrible. Nerves were only a small part of his drop.
