They should be trying to draw fouls without flailing like a fish unnecessarily. This is the nuance most folks don’t get, it would be fine if Embiid averaged 11 fta if he earned them by genuinely attempting to score as the first priority, and finding contact second.

Steph would legitimately get 0 FTA if he didn't have to purposefully show he's getting fouled.

Again, nothing wrong with showing that you’re being fouled. Steph doesn’t play to get fouled though, he shoots and if/when he’s fouled he lets the refs know.

Right, I don't mind people trying to draw fouls, I mind people trying to trick the refs into thinking they're fouled. Big difference.
