not to say any of this is wrong but if really tall players historically struggle with free throws, and it's possible that shorter players benefit from shooting off the glass, do shorter NBA players also historically struggle with free throws? is there a sweet spot in the 6'4-6'8 range?
Without looking anything up in regards to this, I would think... if anything... it might be harder for a shorter player, looking more upward at the rim from the foul line, to execute a successful bank shot. But regardless, if there is any science or merit to banking free throws, wouldn't it provide a similar benefit across the board? Where a really tall NBA player could improve their % by banking it, but still struggle relative to a short player who is banking it, etc.
