SGA is averaging by far the most drives to the basket each game at 21 a night. The next highest is lamelo ball at 18.3 a night

Despite this SGA is averaging 6.3 FTA per game which is tied for 16th in the NBA. He is also 12th off of FTA per game based off of drives at 2.9 a night. Behind players like Caris levert and paolo banchero

As a whole team OKC is also averaging the most drives per game at 60.5 (2nd is the pacers at 57). Despite this OKC is also 16th in the NBA in FTA.

SGA isn’t a foul merchant and OKC has been getting a pretty bad whistle this year it seems.

OKC is also 2nd in the nba in FT%

Considering the rest of the drivers per game leaders are also not very high in the free throw attempts list, seems like the lesson here should be drives and free throws aren't as correlated as you think.

Yeah because they aren’t driving all the way to the basket. LaMelo will drive and float. Shai will drive and do floater or something else as well.
