Without the incentive of extra points for dunking which would certainly increase these numbers you'd be looking at adding 2.4 to 5.1 more free throw attempts per game. The NBA has been trying to speed up the game so this idea while interesting seems to be counter to the direction the league wants to take the game.
Also keep in mind that teams are putting up 27-43 3PA per game. So a 3PT dunk probably isn't enough to offset how three point crazy the league is.
Yeah but currently when a player goes to the line for a free throw I always think of the line from Bull Durham
Skip: You guys. You lollygag the ball around the infield. You lollygag your way down to first. You lollygag in and out of the dugout. You know what that makes you? Larry!
Larry: Lollygaggers!
Skip: Lollygaggers.
