Free throw shooting
What makes NBA players such superior free throw shooters?
There are currently 18 players in the NBA shooting at 90% or higher, all with a decent number of minimum attempts. In the NBL, we have none (who've shot more than a token minimum).
I can understand the higher assist counts in the US because they're a little more liberal with that statistic.
As for free throws, is it better fundamentals and emphasis on technique, more competition, better trainings, or simply that a higher volume of players are bound to produce those numbers?
What do you think? Is it something that can be translated to developing players in Australia?
