His shooting numbers from beyond 10 feet including his free throw shooting percentage are just awful
FT% = 55% compared to Reggie's 53%
Compared to 66% in his second year at UNC. In his first year he only shot 57% from the Free Throw line so maybe his wrist isn't negatively affecting his ability to shoot. Maybe he just can't shoot free throws. Can English help him become a passable free throw shooter? Only time will tell
When you look at his shot selection and FG% we find
At the Rim------------64.9%------3.2 FGA per game
Less than 10 Feet ----81.8%-----Only 1 FGA per game
10-15 Feet------------25.0%------Only .3 FGA per game
16-23 Feet------------33.0%------Only .4 FGA per game
Compare to Reggie
At the Rim------------41.9%------2.1 FGA per game
Less than 10 Feet ----26.7%-----Only 1 FGA per game
10-15 Feet------------00.0%------Only .1 FGA per game
16-23 Feet------------00.0%------Only .2 FGA per game
So right now Davis seems very similar to Evans in shooting ability except that Davis so far appears to be a better shooter than Reggie at the RIM and up to nine feet.
But beyond nine feet you never want either one to shoot the ball.
Fortunately for the Raptors both Bargnani and Johnson can shoot ball accurately from beyond nine feet.
