I absolutely hate how the NBA is reffed. Basketball is a contact sport and the game would be so much better if they went with the style of FIBA refs where defenders don't have to jump out of the way of attackers without risk of getting called for a foul.

All that said, drawing fouls is a skill that is incredibly effective. Players should be trying to draw fouls.

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.

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.
