Overwhelming majority of his FTA comes from legitimate fouls. The only problem I have with him is he is reffed he's like a perimeter player (then it's not really Embiid's fault, more on refs).

For example when he catches the ball on the block and faces up one dribble blow by, then defender bumps him midway and he gets a foul. That is certainly a foul for perimeter players. Jokic and other bigs in exactly same situation, they have to continue the play because the same foul won't be called.

So, refs have to stop reffing Embiid like a guard or start calling exact same calls for other centers. Then nobody have to complain.
