Dwight might need a pay raise after this article

missing FTs in the scoring efficiency calculation, which I think duffs most of the bigs

It's in there to some degree with total points, right? Idk if that's enough or not i'm no sabermetrician

Think Quady means the denominator has to include FTA like the traditional points per possession calc does

i.e., Points per Possession = Points / (Field Goal Attempts + (0.44 x Free Throw Attempts) + Turnovers)

I stupid

Although wouldn't not having FTA in the denominator actually improve the score for bigs, assuming they get to the line more often?

Yeah was saying if you add to the denominator with FTs, the bigs (and an interesting subset of guards) look a lot less impressive
