The '90 percent free-throw seasons' quiz

The Orlando Magic found themselves on the wrong end of a 109-97 result in their first Play-In Tournament game against the Philadelphia 76ers, but it wasn’t because of Desmond Bane. 

Bane kept the Magic in the contest a game-high 34 points on 4-of-6 from deep and 10-of-11 at the charity stripe, and may need a similar performance against Charlotte for the Magic to advance to the playoffs. 

The six-year veteran’s trade to the Magic from Memphis this offseason was one of the biggest moves of last offseason and he was a reliable piece for a team that underperformed this season. He averaged 20.1 points-per-game on 39.1 percent from three, 48.4 percent from the field and 90.8 percent from the free throw line. He was also one of just four players to start in all 82 games this season.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Bane’s 90.8 percent clip on free throws was the highest of his career despite him recording 141 more attempts than any other season in his career. With that being said, can you name the NBA players to make at least 90 percent of their free throws in a season with at least 300 attempts?

Good luck!
