SGA drives to the rim more than anyone else in the league. Over 20 drives to the rim per game. You'd think people with just a little bball IQ would understand when you are aggressive and attack the rim instead of settling for jumpers, you get fouled more frequently....
SGA is also insanely good at feeling the defender and positioning himself to draw the foul. His feel for the game is all-time. Hes not super explosive he just plays at his own pace and forces the defense into tough spots. Drawing fouls is a skill.
Also..
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ranks 23rd in free throw attempts among players who averaged 30+ PPG since 2005 — and just 12th Most FTA by an MVP since 2000.
Maybe the ‘foul merchant’ talk is overblown 😬
