How many fouls were drawn in the "non RA paint" versus behind the arc


Good question. Certainly for those guys in the post, you have to imagine there are more fouls. Then again, we are seeing more 3PA fouls now. Not the same frequency as in the paint, but it is a rising trend.

We can find out overall FT Rate for each team. That helps a little, but not enough (the Spurs had the lowest rate in the league). Would we look at TS% for Non RA Paint? Or some other measure? I don't even know if there is a way for us to find these things out.

That's the thing, it would be hard to isolate data like TS% for a zone. You'd probably need to isolate by multiplying overall FT% times the number of free throw attempts created from that zone. That should limit the effect of anomalies in FT shooting.

I do think something closer to TS% would be more indicative than eFG% for this type of exercise.
