He is on track to potentially finish the season as only the seventh player since 2000 to achieve a perfect 100% conversion rate from the free-throw line. Nunn's shooting prowess stands out even more, as his shooting splits are over two times greater than any other player.

So far in the 2023-24 EuroLeague season, Nunn has sunk 52 free throws out of 52 attempts over 25 contests, with three regular-season games remaining.

According to journalist Marco Pagliariccio, only six players have managed a flawless free-throw record in a EuroLeague season (with at least 1.0 attempted per game). These include:

Slaven Rimac (AEK) -- 2005-06 season: 21/21 FT Sarunas Jasikevicius (Zalgiris) -- 2013-14 season: 21/21 FT Fabien Causeur (Baskonia) -- 2013-14 season: 18/18 FT Manuchar Markoishvili (Cantu) -- 2011-12 season: 18/18 FT Mike Hall (Milan) -- 2008-09 season: 17/17 FT Jorge Garbajosa (Unicaja) -- 2011-12 season: 14/14 FT

Additionally, Nunn has showcased his impeccable form in Greek League games, converting all 23 of his free throws across 16 matches this season.

His only three missed attempts this season from the charity stripe occurred during Greek Cup games against AEK and Aris.

Nunn, a former NBA player with three seasons of experience across the Atlantic, has an 87.6% free-throw shooting record in the NBA.
