John Hollinger

I don't think he's even the worst guy in the league by far.

I don't even think he's even the worst guy in his own team.

Like I think Lou Dort and Jalen Williams in their own way on defense are a lot worse.

But the free throws aren't like a huge portion of his offense.

He's not...

He's not a guy who's like snapping his head back before anyone even hits him like James Harden did, for instance.

I mean, yes, he does.

The one thing he does do that I think you're showing in some of these clips, he does tend to crumple as he goes up for a jumper.

Because I count him doing that six different times in game two, especially, was the most egregious one, I think.

But...

On the other hand, a lot of the other stuff he does, he's just getting fouled.

He's getting fouled because he's good.

And he gets fouled on these jumpers a lot because people have to crowd him so much or they contest it so hard because he's going to make it otherwise.

So it's kind of the same way that James Harden drew a lot of fouls in his prime on three-point shots just because people had to be inside his jersey to contest it.

And so they ended up crowding his landing space and getting fouls that way.

So I think it's a...

It's a lot to do about a pretty small thing, actually.

Interesting.

We had a writer on yesterday that speculated, hey, the same way they have technical fouls and you've got to serve a one-game suspension, maybe they look at, hey, you're flopping too much.

And if you flop 15 times, you've got to have a one-game suspension.
