field goal % = free throws made free throws taken
Graph analysis: Who are the Knicks' two best free throw shooters?
Graph 4: First, calculate how much money each Knick makes per point scored. Second, make a column graph showing the how much money the leading Knicks make per point.
salary per point = salary/points scored
