This stat represents what percentage of a player’s total points come from the line. This stat obviously doesn’t tell the whole story, for example, Lebron has far fewer of his points coming from the line than Curry, but Lebron’s actually shot more FTA than him, he’s just less accurate. Nevertheless, I do find this interesting.

I’m surprised Tatum isn’t higher. He plays physically and can shoot free throws.
Those of us that have been watching him for years on the west coast know he is elite at the fall and scream while driving, or worse, coming around a high screen and flailing for 3 free throws.
coming around a high screen
He dives into a high screen like a dolphin.
Celtics have to get through 4 out of the top 5. Smh
Merchant
Man i swear he didn’t get as many calls on the Trail Blazers as he is on the bucks lol
Imagine how how Giannis would be on this list if he could actually make his FT’s
Damian Harden
Lmao my free throw grifting king.
Appreciate the reword, and thanks for the interesting contribution!
wheres jokic
Never heard of him
lol “simpler way of doing it”
you’ve provided an entirely different stat
OP talks about how FT pts percent doesn’t tell the whole story, so I provided FTr as the context. I can delete it if you’d like.
