It wouldn't make sense for defense to impact other teams FT. It would just be FT skill level and some random.

Better teams >>> Better players >>> Better FT&JS&JR skills >>> Better FT%.
How does that answer the question? Try to understand what the issue is before responding at least...


And it is a very interesting topic indeed. Thanks for pointing that out, Phoenix! I don't have an answer though, except that the best team in my league has the lowest opp. FT %, which sort of adds fuel to the fire.

Mind sharing the data you have which made you infer that?

It's a small sample size, but one of my top FT shooters actually shoots better in a competitive Div I than in the bot infested div II. This season he has been almost perfect from the line in NT tourneys, which have very much better team defense rating than every club I've faced, but cans his shots against teams I thrash easily. Going by that, it appears as if the opposite is actually true (though we know it's just biasness of a small sample size)

Hello,

It wouldnt make any sense team defense to impact the FT%.

Game shape and also when a team is playing with the reserves (because of the Cup) is two of the factors except luck that you already mention it.
