it's good to use but only with proper context.
For example I'd much rather have a player (Player A) with X TS% who shoots a high % from the Field (FG%) and a lower % from the line (FT%) then a player (Player B) with the same X TS% who shoots a very high % from the line but a mediocre % from the Field (FG%).
Player B is far more reliant on luck of the draw and the refs then Player A.
Player A can produce offense no matter what and wont be shutdown if the refs swallow their whistles or decide to call the game differently.
Drawing fouls is now luck of the draw? Huh?
Actually, the player with the lower FG% would be more valuable because they give their team more chances for offensive rebounds.
