Using 40-60 fouls a game is a losing strategy.

I mean if you have to play teams that try to score from the line then its probably necessary.
For the Wolves (the most foul-prone team in the league lmao), absolutely. Having NAW and other defenders as foul insurance for Jaden McDaniels is huge, because it gives Jaden reprieve and allows him to be on the floor longer. Also one of the reasons Rudy is helpful on this roster is reducing KAT's fouls, which allows him more aggressive and stay on the floor longer. The first thing Rudy said at his press conference was "I'll help get KAT out of foul trouble" 😂
When we played the Nuggets, having 5 centers was helpful bc we could send Nate Knight and Luka Garza to get physical with Jokic and try to draw fouls. That shit is valuable when all your centers and most of your wings are always in foul trouble lmao
All that depth and they still didnt get big bodies to guard Jokic. Probably not gonna be a sweep next playoffs, nuggets win 4-1, maybe 4-2
I'd say Foul Appearence rather than foul tolerance. Being so damn ugly that players won't go near you or will actively avoid looking at you, i think it's very very underrated.
