Sometimes he doesn’t get enough calls his way. Sometimes he gets too many.

Rather him getting too many FTs than not enough, he’s shown he doesn’t need those to perform

19.5 drives a game since Christmas? We made it. He’s at his best when his offensive game is based on driving. It opens up everything else for his bag, it opens up teammates, it creates way more opportunities for FT attempts. I’ve always said I’d love for him to be like 20 drives a game kind of player.

Once he becomes a pro at foul baiting, he’s gonna be unstoppable like SGA

Well what do you know, the team starts doing well, gets some national attention, and all of a sudden he starts getting calls. What a surprise!

Seems likes he shot more catch and shoot threes the last few games too. Not sure how accurate that is just an observation.

Anybody else notice this all started after playing embiid and sga. I think he realized that if he wants to average 30+ that the easiest and most efficient way is to shoot more freethrows.
Obviously easier said then done but he has the physical tools to put defenders in a position where they have to foul or go through their arms and the strength to still have a shot at an and 1.
I don’t really feel like he’s gotten a significantly better whistle it feels like he’s driving into contact more and looking to create a foul.

That HEYYYY is actually a genius move. As long as he uses it when there’s actual contact, it will give him ridiculous, even hateable amount of FTs.
