Ben Wallace and Shaquille O'Neal are both on this list.
Who's No. 1?

#1 Ben Wallace

Miami Heat v Detroit Pistons - Game 1
Ben Wallace

Career: 1109-2679 (41.4%)

Ben Wallace was a ferocious defender, clearly proven by his four Defensive Player of the Year awards but all that ferociousness goes out of the window when he is forced to the free-throw line.

Wallace was pathetic from the free throw line.

An undersized center at 6-9, Wallace's career-high from the line was 49% in the 2004-05 season. Six of his 16 years in the league, he didn't even shoot better than 40% on free-throws including a career-low 30.0% in his rookie year.

If Drummond continues to shoot at his current clip of around 60.0%, Wallace's record of being the worst free-throw shooter in NBA history is very safe.
