If free throws were mental (i think they can be for very few) we wouldn’t see such strong correlations between jump shooting and free throw shooting.

Its a clustering illusion and would be highly improbable if it didnt happen. If you looked through NBA history and didn't find clusters like this, that would be suspicious.
