re: On Zion NOT getting to the line as often as we think he should...I think

quote:

---

Zion is 11th in the NBA with 6.7 free throws attempted per game

SGA attempts 8.8 per game.

SGA also takes 20.2 shots per game, while Zion takes 15.2 (and makes basically the same percentage)

Zion is not an MVP candidate because he watches Ingram takes 16.1 midrange jumpers a game

---

Now do how many shots per game SGA takes that are pull up shots.

I will save you the time.
SGA takes 10 per game
Zion takes .5 per game

SGA drives 9 times per game. (edit. That are not pull ups)
Zions drives 14.5 times per game. (edit. That are not pull ups)

Zion is not getting even close to the calls SGA gets. It's criminal. I did not need stats to tell me that though. Just watch both teams play.
