For sure to all you wrote. His free throw average would have been much better if the college and nba hadn't changed the rules for dunking from the free throw line, because of him. Like he once famously told Jordan, the league tried to make it easier for Jordan to score, and harder for Wilt to score. I'm the biggest Jordan fan in the world, but I admit Wilt was right. I think the ball must have felt almost weightless to him, like a tennis ball in his hands (exaggerating of course) his massive strength and huge hands prevented him from getting under the ball to delicately arc it up and through the hoop. Like asking a home run hitter to bunt. He scored a lot of fade away jumpers off the glass so obviously wasn't a one dimensional player, he just couldn't do it straight on. OT I love Jokic, love his attitude as well as his game. If Wilt was defending him at the 3 point line, imho he would have blocked a lot of those shots. As well, underneath Wilt would have jumped over Jokic (46 inch vs 17 inch vertical) so Wilt would love playing against Jokic. Embiid now, would be a different story.
