January 22, 201610 yr Drummond isn't Wilt level but he is probably a top 4 to 5 center in the league now. And that stat tells us the state of bigs in the nba. :( Leave the rules alone. If they adjust the rules to help guys with poor fundamentals, their just setting the game back further.
January 22, 201610 yr ^^^^ Ok Deuce, How would you change the rule, if you were the rules guy? Side story,,, Watching UK several of us are amazed that Briscoe could have been that highly ranked coming out of hs and can't shot 35% from the line. I love this kids grit, but watching him shoot free thows is like get your wisdom teeth pulled.
January 22, 201610 yr Can someone pull stats on centers ft % thru out the history of the nba? I'm curious what some of the past greats shot ft at.

January 23, 201610 yr They could start by calling it what it is, an intentional foul. I agree -- I appreciate the strategy and would likely employ the same one under the current rules if my job was to win basketball games. But, it's not a basketball play.
