Understanding Free Throw Percentage

Free throw percentage is a crucial statistic in basketball that measures a player's shooting accuracy from the foul line. It's calculated by dividing the number of free throws made by the total number of free throws attempted, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.

The NBA uses this percentage to evaluate players and for sorting in various statistical rankings. A higher free throw percentage indicates better shooting accuracy and can significantly impact a team's success, especially in close games where free throws often determine the outcome.

Example Calculation

For example, if a player has made 150 free throws out of 200 attempts:

FT% = (150 / 200) × 100 = 75%

This means the player has a 75% free throw shooting accuracy.
