You are not a basketball fan. You have described the real basketball distribution of FT shooters so you are supporting the sugestion, just you don't realize. Do you know Who Shaquille O'Neal was?

Not sure why this is necessarily a problem. 2-3 JS, even in lower divisions, usually means the player has been mistrained and/or should be trained in Jump Shot anyway. And if we're trying to offset any remaining advantage inside tactics might have in the GE post shooting tweak, we should indeed target the free throws that result from taking inside shots.

And hopefully buff shooting percentages across the board too, but let's tackle the game balance and realism one issue at a time...

And why should we even care about bailing out managers who trained their players poorly? The only place where such monoskilled players should even exist is at U21 level, where they need all the primaries they can get to make the team. Not training the proper secondaries after that is a PEBKAC error.

EDIT: Okay, I do think there is some room for improvement here to help lower division players. Perhaps make it so that the FT cap cannot be lower than 5 (Mediocre) even if JS is lower.

OK, so let's keep two ridiculous features of the game
1) Centers with JS=2 and FT=20
2) Centers with TSP=85 making 150k each week.
because one is good and the other one is bad for the centers, and they compensate each other.
why not? I makes sense, right?

No, not at all.
I am not expecting that to happen, but the sensible thing to say is SOLVE BOTH!
