One of the greatest head scratchers in recent MU lore, is Derrick Wilson's struggle at the free throw line.

43% from the charity stripe this year. 43%!!!

To put that in perspective, Shaq shot 53% for his career from the free-throw line.

Can you think of a guard that has a worst ft percentage than DW? Seriously.

This couldnt have been put into one of the other 40,000 Derrick bashing threads

Seven more games and no one will have to worry about it/discuss it any further.

My leading returning candidate would be Cohen, but it's very possible a "transfer outsider" takes that title.

Dominic James shot 46% his Senior year

NersEllenson · « **Reply #9 on:** February 10, 2015, 10:21:36 PM »

I'm not sure I ever recall a guard banging as many FT attempts off the glass as does Derrick. Dom James became a poor Free Thrower, but usually his misses were at least of the clanging off the rim (not backboard variety.)

nyg · « **Reply #10 on:** February 10, 2015, 10:24:41 PM »

5 for 12 tonight, 41%.....

After shooting nearly identical 65% in each of this first 3 years.....Buzz factor...."turning him loose"

Wade for President · « **Reply #12 on:** February 10, 2015, 10:26:20 PM »

Not looking to bash DW...it's just that I'm thoroughly confused as to how a guard can struggle that much.

Furthermore, I don't know how more teams don't try and exploit a Hack-a-Derrick strategy.

When your team can't score there's no need to hack anyone.

WellsstreetWanderer · « **Reply #14 on:** February 10, 2015, 10:28:30 PM »

It seems to me that ALL of Derrick's shots hit the back of the rim: layups, free throws and jump shots

Right, or let MU shoot threes. 3 for 15 tonight and 1 for 10 last game. That is not good.

Wasn't Mayo here? Burton? Dawson? Pretty sure Dawson and Burton were at least 75+% FT shooters and 28%+ 3 point shooters. Not to mention both physically had Big East ready bodies - and looking at Cheatham and Cohen, both of these guys need to add A LOT of strength. JJJ and Duane too.

Dawson?! He's playing at Liberty now...

I was casually listening to the game on the radio. I thought I heard the radio announcer say that a Marquette woman player is the FT% leader in the nation and has over 40 straight free throws. Wojo, get that woman for lessons!
