read down from that too, to check out this:
(187744.101)I find it kinda funny that everyone seems to complain about guys with good jump shot, and crappy free throw %, but nobody ever seems to complain about good FT shooters who can't hit a jumper. Also, I never see people complaining about guys with too high of a FT%, which are pretty easy to find in BB. Instead, it seems people want to be able to continue their current training regimens, but also get a bit of free FT thrown in. Now, I could support the idea of FT being elastically linked to JS (despite the fact that neither FG% as a whole, nor 3FG%, correlates strongly with FT%), as long as low FT equally holds back JS.
Now, as summarized in that linked thread, having the floor of lowest FT% be zero is unrealistic, but it's also very easy for a manager to decide to address that. So if the lack of realism is bothering you, you can choose to fix it.
