These guys are top 100 right?

Only Reaves (#9), Schroeder (#44), Gabriel (#60) and Vanderbilt (#77) qualify for the top 100, as far as qualified players, you can add Russ (#71) as well.

Compared to, say, the Clippers, who have, Plumlee (#1), Zubac (#18), Powell (#46), George (#89), EJ (#98) and Russ can be added at #71.

76ers have Embiid #3, Trez #20 and Harden #23.
Kings have Barnes #8, Sabonis #15, Fox #62, Lyles #67, Metu #96
Nets have 7/26/41/73
Wiz have 11/13/35/92

Of those teams, only the Kings join the Lakers in the top five of FT disparity. The other three, from the screen grab, are the Heat (4/54), Knicks (25/50/63/66/68), Magic (14/16/72/93/95).


You're not including LeBron and Davis?

So you're removing Lakers main usg% guys because of qualifiers. That's fine but that's not going to tell you the story here.


I'm going based off of qualified players, even then, LeBron is 177 for all players, and AD is 38.

LeBron has one of the lower free throw rates in the league.

Relative to his playstyle Lebron actually has one of the lowest free throw rates of all time.

Absolutely 1 and/or 2 in my book, they have "superstars" that the league gifts calls too and its the Lakers/LeBron...NBA/ESPN will pay and give anything to make sure their cash cow is in the playoffs making them more money
