NBA - Main

Embiid will definitely sell a foul or two per game, but people in here aren't watching the games if they think the overwhelming majority of his free throws aren't warranted. In most cases, his defender either let him catch the ball too deep and hacks him to prevent a layup, he seeks out the contact instead of avoiding it when going up, or he's getting doubled/tripled and people are swiping at the ball as he's brining it up.

Also, comparing his free throw attempts to Jokic's doesn't make sense, because they play a very different style of ball while in the paint. Jokic is a lot more finesse-based and he's looking to put up floaters, push shots, short jumpers, or he's looking to pass the ball. When Embiid gets the ball in the paint, he's going up hard like 90% of the time. The finesse work that Embiid does is mostly from the top of the key or farther out, with the only exception really being his free throw line pull-up jumper.
