They all get to the free-throw line with regularity. James Harden is the gold standard in this field, averaging 36 points per game while getting to the free-throw line 11 times each contest. But he’s not alone: Joel Embiid is second in free-throw attempts, Giannis Antetokounmpo is third and Anthony Davis is fourth. All of them find themselves in the league’s top seven in scoring.
But Donovan Mitchell has become much better at that since the turn of the calendar into 2019. In October, November, and December, Mitchell got to the line four times per contest, one of the lowest rates among 20-point-per-game scorers.
