Watch the games. If the opponent didn’t throw three bodies on him every time he touches the ball in the paint, he would be hitting on 80+% of those shots. It’s the only way to prevent giving him a free layup every time down the court

It's r/NBA, if Embiid draws a ton of fouls and shoots 80% from the line, he's a flopper. If he wasn't good at FTs, he'd be ridiculed for sucking at the line.

If he didn't draw the fouls to begin with people would call him soft and afraid of contact. People just don't like Embiid.
