3rd is Trae Young at 9.8 FTA.
Kevin Durant and Joel Embiid are tied at 4th/5th with 9.1 FTA.
Milwaukee Bucks are the top free throw merchant team at 29.3 FTA.
Are the Bucks the most exciting team in the league today?
Don’t hear y’all call SGA a free throw merchant now. He’s still putting up 28 ppg on +50% FG and 60% TS while only getting 6 free throw attempts per game (while still leading the league in drives)
Free throw attempts are fine as long as it’s not Embiid or Harden
Sixers fans are at that time of the season where they start talking shit about other Players/teams and buy into “the we are better this year” that the team says only for the eventual second round exit.
They average 3 more than the sixers, the only guys that get calls are dame and Giannis. Embiid will get his up in the next few weeks. Dames will 100% go down, he’s never averaged 10 fta he’s usually 6-7 ish
It’s entirely possible it evens out as the year goes but Embiid does not look like he’s trying to draw fouls nearly as much this year
No Luka or Shai? Interesting
Luka has for some reason decided to become a 3 point specialist this year. And it’s irritating.
