He should be on the active roster for the sole purpose of hitting late game free throws.

or even if he drives (gets a foul on the opposing team's players and an automatic 2 points at the line).

Maybe he'll start teaching the Capel school of FT shooting.

You kid, but Carrol is already 30 years old and there is good work in the NBA for a FT coach... every team has one these days.
And last year I saw a stat that over 80% of all NBA games are lost by a margin LESS then the number of missed free throws by the loosing team.

IS that a paradox?

Actually with Carroll's coaching pedigree (I think his grandfather has coached more kids in pennsylvania than Wilt the Stilts conquests) I fully expect Matt to be involved in teaching the game. He and brother Pat have been running summer camps for years

That's nice, but hitting free throws after an early October practice is an entirely different animal than hitting them in a crucial 4th quarter moment.

If you need Matt Carroll to step to the line and knock down clutch free throws, your team is horrible.

Exactly.

AJ, Matty is by far the best shooter, both from range and at the line, this team has ever had. No one even comes close.

And he can come in ice cold and still hit shots...
