What would a one free throw rule mean for the NBA?

Kevin Pelton's NBA mailbag is back, featuring your questions on an experiment using a single free throw attempt for all points, Russell Westbrook's shooting numbers, the best way to enforce 3-point shooting fouls and how scoring relates to win projections.

You can tweet your questions using the hashtag #peltonmailbag or email them to peltonmailbag@gmail.com.

We'd expect fewer points per FTA then, right, since players are more likely to miss their first? Or do you expect the added value of the shot will generate 2nd-shot like focus?

This question stems from the discussion about the NBA experimenting with a single free throw for all points this season in the G League, as first reported last month by my colleague Zach Lowe.
