I wanted to see the best Jazz FT% leaders.

The best was Hornacek at .897. Wish they had a 91.1%+ guy.

I had no idea Jeff Malone was at 88.1%. Nice.

Pretty weird that recent players are in the top 10. Olynyk, Rubio, Bogdanovic, and Markkanen are in the top 10, and all have played for the team within the past few years.

The NBA did not have the 3-pointer at that time, correct? So the ABA was different in that aspect?
