When it comes to potential goals for Boston Celtics big man Neemias Queta in a season his role is set to explode from former levels playing for the team off the bench as a deep rotation options, you probably did not have boosting his free throw rate at the top of your list. But the Portuguese center is hoping to do exactly that, according to the man himself in a recent interview with CLNS Media reporter Bobby Manning.
To be fair, it also was not at the top of Queta's list of goals for the coming season, either, when he was asked what he can do better. "I think it's making sure I get in great shape," said Queta. "Go out there and make elite decisions with the ball in my hands and making sure I get great finishes this year."
"I also want to raise up my free throw attempts this year," he added. "I just want to be aggressive and make sure I get my percentage up on the free throw line, too."
Less surprisingly, the Celtic center also wants to work on his shot from beyond the arc. "I think I always work on the 3s no matter what," said Queta.
"You never know when you need one of them and like even if I'm not a great shooter off of the 3-point line, if I'm open, and I have got to shoot it, I will shoot it confidently. You never know it. I want to make them."
