Who Are The NBA's Most Valuable Foul Shooters?
So far in this series I've looked at inside, mid-range, and 3-pt scoring. In this post, I will define the rating for foul shooting. The final post of the series will look at the total scoring rating, which is simply the sum of all four parts.
The logic for developing the foul shooting rating is essentially the same as for all the previous ratings. We compare the player's free throw rate (FTA per 100 possessions) and free throw efficiency to the league averages at his position.
As always, we demonstrate the rating calculation with a specific player. In this case, we'll use Kevin Martin who basically makes his living at the charity stripe:
Kevin Martin averages 12.2 FTA per 100 possessions at 89.1%. The league averages for SG are 4.41 and 80.1%, respectively. The first term in the rating, therefore, represents Martin's marginal value for the FTA he is expected to take. The second term represents the marginal value attributed to his additional FTA above the average. The term 1.08*0.44 represents the value that those FTA would bring if they were average possessions. Here, 1.08 is the approximate point value of a possession and 0.44 is the conversion factor to determine how many possessions would have been used by a certain number of FTA. Finally, the third term represents the marginal value of the Martin's AND1 free throw rate (per 100 possessions). Clearly, Martin generates a tremendous amount of value from his free throws. In fact, as you will see in the next post, his free throw rating alone is enough to propel him into the overall top 5. Of course, if we knew more specifically where on the court Martin draws fouls, the value could be distributed into the other three ratings. But we don't have those data, so for now, we have to resort to this separate rating for free throws.
Here were the most valuable free throw shooters last season according to this rating system:

WTF Curry shot 95.1% from the line last year??
i did not realize this.. that’s insane haha
"It ain't Chinese algebra. If you get stops and you execute on offense, normally that team wins." - Tony Allen
"One thing LeBron James has won that Kobe Bryant never has, and never will: A bronze medal."- Josh Tucker
ya hes a great foul shooter
Too bad he only averaged like 2 foul shots a game. Still, he nailed 95% of those 2 a game.
i knew he's top of the league
i just never realized it was to that extent. but ya, like you said, he needs to get there more often.

I think the difference is that they are including AND1 in that number

Evanz...
Just wanted to say that this series has been great, and I was glad to see your article on Dunks, Layups etc getting some attention in more than a couple basketball starved corners of the internet.
Now I just can’t wait for you to have some new numbers to work with. Unfortunately I’m not feeling to optimistic about our chances of seeing NBA ball anytime soon.
thanks!
(it got a lot more attention everywhere but here for once…)
