Parsons

2011-12 - 55.1%

2012-13- 75.8%

Splitter

2010-11 - 54.%

2011-12 - 69.1%

2012-13 - 74.1%

Are these massive improvements sustainable? What do you guys think?

Have a look at attempts per year. Those guys didn't play a hell of a lot of minutes in those early years so the %s are less substantive. Going by their 2/3 yr averages should give you a more accurate read.

Also, I think rookies who come in for garbage time in their first year and have never really worked on their shot over a preseason can end up with decieving numbers.

I've watched a few Houston games this year, and Parsons looks FAR more confident at the line than he did last year.

Parsons was a terrible FT shooter in college though. The 55% he shot as a rookie was the same % as his senior season at Florida.
