We all know Giannis can struggle at the line, but as he put the Heat away with clutch free throws tonight, I thought it does often seem like he hits them when it matters. So I looked at the numbers.
In the clutch (<2mins, game within 5 points) Giannis is:
23-24: 4/4 - 100%
22-23: 14/17 - 82.4%
21-22: 21/30 - 70%
20-21: 7/9 - 77.8%
19-20: 11/14 - 78.6%
Dude’s clutch.
I’m genuinely surprised by how low his clutch ft shooting was in the 2021-22 season, considering how that was one of his better ft shooting seasons in the last couple of years.
