Higher volume in field goal attempt usually leads to lower fg percentage. Defenses adjust. Pretty obvious stuff. Do you think ft% stays pretty much the same with more attempt? Or physical/mental fatigue a factor?

Well, in some cases more attempt = better FT%

Like Marc Gasol, he used to shoot 83% for years but when his volume goes way down, he only shot 73-75%.

I don't think physical/mental is a factor unless we're talking an inhuman amount of FT (like 100 FT a game or something). Even when someone is tired, FT don't take too much physical or mental energy. Unless it's a game tying FT in the last second or something like that.
