3rd is Trae Young at 9.8 FTA.

Kevin Durant and Joel Embiid are tied at 4th/5th with 9.1 FTA.

Milwaukee Bucks are the top free throw merchant team at 29.3 FTA.

Are the Bucks the most exciting team in the league today?

It’s because he forces contact. He’s so good at putting defenders in a position where they either have to foul or get out of the way and give him a free lane to the basket, and what that generally looks like is a defender getting called for basically just trying to stay in front of his man.

There’s always people who whine about calls going against their team when their team is clearly hacking the fuck out of someone, but for a whole lot of fans it just doesn’t feel right when someone’s getting a call after initiating contact despite that being 100% within the rules.
