Possible to have had 0 FG. Maximum possible is 7.
Possible to have had at least 1 FT in a game and as many as 15.
So range of x is [0, 7] and y is [1, 15]
-
FG----FT
0-----3, 4, 5,6,7,8,9,10,11.12.13.14.15
1-----1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13
2-----0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
3-----0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
4-----0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
5-----0,1,2,3,4,5
6-----0,1,2,3
7-----0,1
