How in the does Kawhi have less FTAs than Mario Chalmers?

Well .

We have a good second unit and are blowing teams out.

But what the , let's worry about trivia. KL is also hitting 3s and jumpers, so sad...

yea, i hope Kawhi start going to the rack more specially on nights where it looks like is shot isn't falling..Hasn't been noted much, but KL has improved his FT shooting by a staggering 7 pct from 80% to 87% this year..he is slowly getting to that "automatic zone"..

Because he doesn't play enough minutes to rack up FTAs, given all the 4th quarters he's sat out.

Also, because the Spurs' offense encourages passing and ball movement over isolation plays and attacking the rim.

1) Kawhi doesn't flop, Chalmers does

2) Kawhi doesn't drive to the hoop very often. Most of his offense comes from 3s, mid-range pullups, and post-ups (you can get away with murder down low in the nba)

My point is that Mario Chalmers isn't what you call a slasher, a high usage player or someone who commends the respect of the refs (he's actually more of a spot up shooter) yet averages more FTAs than Kawhi.

Did you see the way Chalmers played against the Spurs. He drove to the basket like 10-15 times. It seems like Memphis is asking him to be more aggressive going to the basket. Based off his performance against the Spurs, this is not surprising at all
