Fouling him is one of the best ways to guard him one on one, it’s either damn near a guaranteed bucket or you take your chances with a 70% ft shooter.
This is the the answer with Giannis. Dude is a physical player who requires physical D so he’s going to get fouled. And it’s also good D to put him on the line since he’s such an inconsistent FT shooter. The problem is if he shoots 80% from the stripe he ends up with 45+ on the night.
He’s been worse in recent seasons. The only anomaly was the 21/22 season when he shot a respectable 72%.
In his early days he was a decent mid-70s FT shooter but his shot deteriorated.
fouling a 70% ft shooters is awful strategy tf you talking about lmao, altho Giannis isn’t really a 70% ft shooter
