When we are talking about an ability to shoot, then free throws are a different skill. True, Web is better at drawing fouls. Outlaw also gets more rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. My point was to dispute that Web was a better shooter. In truth, they are very close.

They have very different roles on the team. Web is expected to sit on the outside and wait for the open shot. Outlaw is asked to penetrate and actually take harder shots. Without people causing havoc like Roy, Outlaw and even Jack, Web would not get the open looks he gets. Visa versa, without Web, Jones, Blake and Outlaw to a lesser degree shooting well from the arc, the others would not have the space to operate on the inside.
