    Im not sure who would hate this proposal. Watching free throw fests is excruciating. The Spurs/Thunder was an absolute chore to watch.

    How would this impact the TS% stat?

    When attempting 2 free throws, I've seen stats where the %age on the first and second FT's were both in the 70's, but the 2nd FT %age was a bit better. I remember reading a Reddit post on the stats when shooting 3 FT's, but I can't remember the exact numbers, but the %age increased from 1st to 2nd to 3rd attempt. The 3rd attempt was up close to 90% from what I recall.

    Easy fix to this is to allow everybody one warm up FT first

    That definitely isn’t going to happen because it defeats the purpose.

    From looking at it, It... will. TS% is basically points per fga's and fta's (simply-put). Now you'll be scoring more pts per fta's.

    I'm basing this on the assumption that these shots will still be awarded 1 FTA like, I believe, the G-League has been doing it for the past few years with their one-FT rule. Not to mention if/how the actual calculation of TS% itself will need to change.

    Let's just not change it! lol.

    It's only fair.
