Pull up shots are a tracked stat. You can look them up on NBA.com if you like. LINK

A Pull up shot is a drive that ends in a jump shot. Which SGA does a ton of. You are far less likely to get fouled doing that on a drive than taking it to the cup. Although SGA does still get a ton of touch calls on his pull ups.
Pull up shots off of drives, not drives. Gotcha


And yea, that speaks to your point about the difference in shots at the rim vs pull up jumpers. Zion is certainly taking more of a beating while SGA is just playing the game of knowing how to get calls.

Exactly. That was the point I was trying to show. Nobody goes to the rim more than him. And looking at traditional shot attempts stats to FT shots will not explain that fully.

Same goes for the "drive" stat that some of these guards justify their calls off of.

He just does not get the calls.

To expand even more on the SGA to Zion comp.

SGA takes 9 attempts per game at less than 10 feet.
Zion takes 14.5 attempts per game at less than 10 feet.
