I'm not sure how that would be determined since you'd need to define what is a high percentage of 3s and what is a high percentage of free throws. Arbitrary cut-offs like 4+ threes w/ 8+ FTAs are hugely dominated by player seasons from the last 6 years (and Allen Iverson):

I'd like to know how much is due to the simple change in play style that calls for more three pointers overall, how much is just specific players happen to play that way, and how much is due to the rule change that says, "If a guy has his hand on your hip at the three point line, that's a foul." Where it used to say, "If a guy has his hand on your hip at the three point line, tough tacos."
