Free Throws

The free_throws section in the markings response contains shooting mechanics data for every free throw attempt, similar to jump shot data but without jump-related fields.

Overview

Free throw mechanics data mirrors jump shot mechanics data in structure, with checkpoints, ball position, timing, and joint angle data. Since players typically don't jump during free throws, the jump-related checkpoints and metrics are excluded.
