Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 2450254, member: 767"] I was curious, I had to look up the FT numbers now. This was 54-55, the first season with the shot clock. The average team shot 38.5% from the field, scored 93.1 points. They took 86.4 shots per game, and 35.9 free throws (so for every 100 field goals attempted, there were 41.6 FT) Last season, the average team scored 105.6 points per game, on 45.7 shooting. The average team took 85.4 shots per game, and 23.1 Free throws (so for every 100 field goals, there were 27 FT attempted). Just to give you an idea the impact the shot clock had, the season before, the average team scored 79.5 points per game on 75.4 shots, 37.2% shooting. By 1960, the average team was scoring 115 points per game on 108.7 (!) field goals per game. No, I don't really have a point here. [/QUOTE]
