eh, I'm saying checking is possible, but not really worth the effort especially with the dumb stuff you see happening in the game viewer. My position is that the Game Manual is correct, but , using the eye test, the effect seems to be limited. In addition to that the effect would only be useful in ver y close games going down the wire (which are the ones you want to win, but they are also quite rare).

One way could be to see how well a player shoots free throws in the last 2 minutes of a close game compared to all other times. It would be pretty time consuming, and I'm not planning on running that analysis anytime soon, but anecdotally I've seen lower experience guys miss key FT's more often in the end of close games. Most my guys are pretty solid FT shooters, so it's noticeable when they miss two.

It would be interesting to see if the higher experience players are more clutch on their FT's than the lower experience guys, relative to their regular FT shooting percentage.

And, of course, FT's are only one aspect, so it wouldn't answer any of the broader questions.

Uhm I think I could run something like that later next week. Since several of my (older) guys are pretty poor FT shooters overall, some pattern may emerge.
