[QUOTE="CurbeloYourEnthusiasm, post: 1572737, member: 747729"] If Player X, is 5-12 on the season from the foul line, there aren’t any teams that are going to start fouling that player intentionally to get him to the line in the hope he misses. The sample size is too small. But when you have a player, that is about 50% from the line over 70 attempts, there’s a strong chance that player is going to be put on the line intentionally. And that is what Illinois needs to avoid. We put Kofi on the bench to prevent teams from fouling him on purpose. No team is going to start fouling Giorgi on purpose just bc he starts the year 5-12 from the line. Last years stats can be thrown out once you have a large current year sample. See Damonte’s 3s and Kofi’s FTs. [/QUOTE]
