not necessary, but maybe we are missing new points to make further post. And who know if it got on the to do list, of the BB#s or not ;)

Sounds like a good suggestion, it could really help teams know who is drawing fouls.

Just in relation to this suggestion.

I few weeks back i did some statistical analysis of whether there was a link between a players FT skill and his frequency that he goes to the line ie: ability to draw shooting fouls. which is what i believe the original suggestion was about. Having a stat which shows how many fouls drawn by that player.

Anyways, here is the forum link

(186228.1)

In summary, i did statistical analysis of the skill level related to FT frequency and found minimal correlation. Simmilarly, i also incorporated other stats, like experience etc, and found minimal correlation.

Essentially, i found no correlation between skill and a players frequency to go the line ie: Draw fouls.

Therefore, having a statistic like this, whilst it would be nice and I can see why they have it in real life basketball, because in real life basketball, you do have players that are better at drawing fouls than others, but my conclusion was that in the BuzzerBeater game, there is no such ability or skill which contributes to the frequency which players get fouled, and as such, this stat would be meaningless. Sorry!... nice suggestion though!
