From an article:
The Golden State Warriors are atop the Western Conference with a 10-3 record and a top-five offense and defense, so yes, in a sense, I'm nitpicking when I point out that their free-throw shooting has been terrible. But don't be fooled by the record. This is not a team with much margin for error, at least not against good teams, and shooting 69.7% as a team from the stripe, the worst mark in the league, is absolutely going to bite them if it continues.
It already burned them against the Clippers on Monday, when they lost by three points and missed 10 free throws (9 of 19). Throw out Stephen Curry's 94.3% clip and Buddy Hield's 85.7%, and these percentages are brutal.
Andrew Wiggins: 72.3%
Kyle Anderson 71.4%
Moses Moody: 71.4%
Draymond Green: 69.7%
DeAnthony Melton: 62.5%
Gary Payton II: 62.5%
Kevon Looney: 60.9%
Jonathan Kuminga: 60.7%
Brandin Podziemski: 60.0%
Trayce Jackson-Davis: 54.5%
When 10 of your 12 rotation players are 72% or worse from the line, and six of them are sub-63%, you have a problem. Golden State needs to fix this, and quickly.
