[Highlight] Austin Reaves contorts his body in a ridiculous way as he tries to draw the foul. Should this have been a flopping technical foul? (streamable.com)

"Flailing" is one of the biggest problems in the NBA, and Reaves is one of, if not the biggest, perpetrators in the league. Ever watch a laker game last season? Reaves flails at least 3-4 times a game, in an attempt to draw fouls. Sad thing is, he usually gets the calls. Whenever he has the ball in his hands, especially with the intention of creating his own shot, he usually flails his body and/or purposely runs into the defender in an unorthodox manner in order to get the whistles. That's part of the reason why he's averaging so many free throws a game.

This is a problem that the NBA needs to alleviate immediately, and definitely calls for a technical foul. I wish they'd actually start suspending repeat offenders for this. It's ruining the league.
