Be a NBA League Leader

Navarro ranks 9th in free-throw percentage (0.909). However, if you take a look at the
2007-08 Free-Throw Shooting Leaders, you won't see him.

Why does he not appear between the leaders? You will find the answer at the Minimum Stats for Leaders page. Where a chart shows the statistical minimums a player needs to achieve to be listed among the league leaders at any given point in the season.

Navarro, in order to be eligible as a Free-Throw League Leader after 23 games, needs at least 35 free-throw attempts. At this moment, he has only attempted 33 free-throws. This explains why he does not appear in the list. However, I said he ranks 9th in free-throw percentage. How is that possible? It's because he is a rookie, and the minimums for NBA rookie leaders are half of the overall-requirement.

By the way, on Saturday Memphis (7-16) won to Orlando (17-8) 123-119. Navarro played as starter again and LED Memphis again, this time with 27 points (5-11 from 3-pt range and 8-8 from the free-throw line) in 40 minutes and a marvelous 4th quarter. He also dished-out four assists.

PS: I know that Rudy Gay scored a career-high 32 points on Saturday night, but it was Navarro who decided the game with his fourth and fifth 3-pointers, with 2:58 and 0:45,6 left to the end of the game, respectively.
