NBA: 10 Worst Free-Throw Shooters EVER

#9 Larry Smith - 53.1%

#13 Larry Smith

Career: 866-1630 (53.1%)

Larry Smith, a 6-8 small forward, played 9 of his 13 years, from 1980 to 1989, for the Golden State Warriors. The other four years were spent with the Houston Rockets and the San Antonio Spurs (1).

As you study Smith's career game logs, in an attempt to track his free-throw percentage, another thing stands out. Smith made zero three-pointers on 7 attempts, even Polynice, a 6-11 power forward, has made 5 over the course of his career.

Anyway getting back to the category in question here. A majority of his career, Smith was an average free-throw shooter and would have missed out on this list if it wasn't for three bad seasons in the latter half of his career. From 1988 to 1991, he had three miserable free-throw shooting seasons - 31.0% (1988-89), 36.4 (1989-90) and 24.0% (1990-91).
