    interesting

    probably too many factors for one chart but I'm wondering if there is a correlation between reduced FTrate, player size, and assisted FG rate. Probably have to discard size for the equation and then consider it afterward

    we've also not considering the impact of playing Dame off the ball. If he's not initiating offense as much he might not be getting as many whistles. Also, Chauncey's rotation seems to take Dame out of the 1st and 3rd Q's in the last 1-2 minutes. That's likely the time that the opponent is in the penalty, so that's probably some missed FT opportunities for Dame as well

    as I mentioned before, it might just be a perfect storm of negative factors: ) way too short an off-season; ) unhealed abdominal injury; ) new ball; ) new offense that takes Dame off the ball; ) new foul rules; ) being in his own head and forcing shots

    that would be a lot to overcome when most of the factors aren't changing

    Yeah there are so many factors probably some of each. But what you mentioned about being in at the end of periods could be a big factor. Not sure but I believe I can tell if it’s a penalty FT or at least if they were in the penalty. Not sure if I can tell if it would have been a shooting foul anyway though.

    If you're a Duck fan, you blame the refs.

    Here are Dame's FTR and he FTR purely from drawing fouls in the penalty that would otherwise be non-shooting. That's a decent chunk. But other players might be picking up some of the slack or maybe we are in the penalty a lot less.

    2015 | FTR 0.315 FTRP 0.077
    2016 | FTR 0.366 FTRP 0.077
    2017 | FTR 0.380 FTRP 0.086
    2018 | FTR 0.335 FTRP 0.106
    2019 | FTR 0.384 FTRP 0.125
    2020 | FTR 0.363 FTRP 0.091
    2021 | FTR 0.181 FTRP 0.043

    Something is clearly wrong with him. I wish he'd step away from the game and just work on whatever physical or mental thing is going on with him.
