300th Free Throw

Shumpert is explosive when it comes to his ability to drive to the basket and with that skill comes free-throw shooting. He has 259 total free throws and averages just 0.9 free throws per game. At that rate over his career average of 58.8 games, Shumpert can knock down 52 free-throws. That would put him over the 300th free-throw milestone at 311. He averaged slightly less last year with the Cavs at 0.7, but even if he shot that per game, he would still land at almost exactly 300 free throws.
