Morris Udeze 6'8 PF/C 2018 a Shocker!

I heard he can't make FTs, though.

Neither could Henry Carr. While he never was a good free throw shooter, he improved enough to be a solid player. I would take 65% and his productivity would shoot up.

All he needs is a Jobu doll...

Maybe Patty Beamer can step in and get him some goggles

Watching Shocks home win against Memphis. Mo played good in 2nd half and was on the offensive boards. First half, Mo got his 2 fouls and went right to the bench. With solid point guards, he should be receiving the rock in more strategic spots on the floor.

Mo also takes charges and is long.

No is a bull! I’m excited about his progression!

I think you meant that Mo is a bull and you're excited.

I remembered that Mo looked pretty good from the free throw line earlier in the year so I did a small amount of research and noticed that during the first 10 games, Mo shot 78% from the free throw line but lost his confidence from the line and ended up with a wonky looking shot and a 48% (last 18 games he shot 38%) by the end of the year.

Everyone on this forum, knows that the coaching staff has to have been working hard with him on his free throw shot. Why his shot went off the rails, is the question because he didn't do the funny twist of his wrist early in the year.

I'm not a great golfer but do lurk on the golf courses, and have watched great golfers lose their putting stroke, and it becomes a mental battle (yips). That's the challenge to the coaching staff and Mo on his free throws. Someone mentioned routine and that is a part of it, but it is more than that and not easy to solve. But it can be solved with work. Hopefully, Mo gets it solved because I'm sure he wants to.

Udeze lost a lot of confidence all around late in the year. I think it settled in that he wasn't going to get a lot of minutes so he got "happy feet" when he came in. If you watched him on defense, he was super jittery trying to not make a mistake. I think we will see a different Udeze this year as he gets more time on the court. That should translate into better FT percentage too IMO.
