Ever wonder why Scottie Thompson had a good 3 point shooting percentage in the bubble?

Here's the answer.

Nice one! For sure Scottie will be more confident on his shooting become versatile as well. Thanks to a veteran like Mark Caguioa for pushing him. I'm expecting that he will do more outside shooting the next season.

But aside from it, my other concern is his Free Throw Percentage. It was a little bit low compared to others, only averaging 59%.  That's why if you may notice, he is the one who always get fouled by the opposing team during crucial times because they knew that there's a high chance for him to miss. Yeah we know that he is more a defensive player rather than an offensive one but free throws are part of the basics, every player was expected to master it. But good thing Ginebra got Richard coz Chard Knows Free Throws Cheesy.

Don't worry about that, slowly Scottie will improve because he is willing to learn, he is already contributing a lot in the floor and eventually he will become an all around player. Just look at Lebron, he is also good but he struggles in his FT, maybe some players really have weakness but I'm sure they're working on it.
