Baldwin Rhythm Addsto Total Points at Foul Stripe NEW YORK (UPI)—The simple ability to add one and one has helped make Flynn Robinson the most accurate foul shooter in the Nationa] Basketball Association. “I want to score as many pints as I can with every opportunity I get,” explained the Milwaukee Bucks’ All-Star guard.‘Those points at the foul line can add up during a game, even if they only comeone at a time. As a result, I concentrate on each shot I take.” The results have been almost staggering. Through Thursday night’s games, Robinson hadhit on 436 of his 485 free throw With the help of those points from the foul line, Robinson is enjoying the best season of his four-year NBA career. With 1,732 points in 79 games, he was averaging 21.9 points and earned slection to the NBA AllStar team. Still, Flynn wasn’t taking the credit for the Bucks’ rise from the Eastern Division cellar last year to second place this season. Standing in the team’s Provo High missed more than three in any game.” Another difference this season is that Robinson has found “rhythm” at the free throw line. “I bounce the ball three or four times until I feel the thythm and get completely relaxed, particularly late in a game when I’mfeelingtired,” said the 6-1 guard, “Last year T'd shoot any kind of way as soon as I gotthe ball.” Wyoming, where he set an all- Contest Is Set time scoring record, but illness postponed his pro debut for one year. Flynn was traded to Chicago on Oct, 20, 1967 for Guy Rodgers, who oddly enough is now a teammate, and a year later the Bucks obtained him for Bob Weiss and Bob Love. Although Robinson had the reputation of being a gunner, he worked hard on improving the other assets of his game, such as playmaking and defense.

This year I’ve been thinking about every oneI take, and I haven't Baseball LakeCity had the game’s top two scorers in Larry Quarles who hit 25 and Brian Westover with 17.
