Quin Snyder would be mad about this conclusion and he would be right.He averaged 2 FTA per game last year. He should get about the same amount of minutes. The difference between him shooting 61.7% (which he did last year) vs. shooting 85% is 0.466 points per game. The difference between his current percentage and 75% is 0.266 points per game.
His free throws don't matter. At all.
An NBA game is decided by an average of 4.6 points last time I checked, perhaps it is a bit higher now. Anyway 0. 266 is about 5~6% of that alone . It's not insignificant at all. It is a quarter. Ask the significance of half a point to punters. It's a thousand dollars sometimes.
