My coworker brought this up today and I thought he was misreading his statline somehow. Looked at his stat page, and yeah, it really is only five on the year. I already knew he wasn’t one to draw fouls but you’d think you’d at least accidentally draw one shooting foul a game as a starter.

To his credit, he’s hit all five.

    I feel like if the average person was given 30 minutes at the 5 on an NBA team they could stumble their way into more than 5 FT’s on 11 games. Like fr, how does this even happen lol

    Broke: Deandre Ayton has attempted only 5 fts through 11 games.

    Woke: Opposing players are afraid to foul 100% ft shooter Deandre Ayton.

    He hates contact. He’s all about taking baby hooks, floaters, and floaters. He will make an effort to avoid contact by fading away on hooks if it’s coming.

    He’s got such a strange skillset. He likes to play with finesse- jump hooks, middys— But he also can’t handle the ball whatsoever, and he can’t really shoot 3s. So you’re not really playing him on the perimeter.

    But he doesn’t want to use his insane physical gifts to dunk and draw contact, so he can’t be a rim-runner either.

    So you’re left with a gifted center whose finesse in the least efficient/effective ways, and only physical every so often for small stretches depending on whether he took his adderall.
