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.

Some other numbers from notable stars:

Embiid: 32.23%

Butler: 32.07%

Trae: 30.48%

Bam: 26.73%

DeRozan: 25.75%

Booker: 25.28%

Durant: 24.2%

Shai: 22.81%

AD: 22.64%

Giannis: 21.97%

Jerami Grant: 21.11%

Steph: 20.18%

Ant: 20%

Zion: 19.27%

Maxey: 18.76%

Luka: 18.65%

Tatum: 18.62%

KAT: 17.24%

Haliburton: 16.75%

Jokic: 16.53%

Kahwi: 16.62%

Lebron: 15.96%

Brunson: 15.83%

Kuzma: 11.81%

Simpler way of doing it:

FTr for players above 300 minutes played

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.
