+rTS exists. No one is saying AR isn’t having a historical come up right now. He is. Just that there will always be competition for the literal #1 “historically efficient guard season of all time.”

(The graph in the first post also makes Steph look further down in volume than he actually relative to the others, as it starts at 18 shot attempts a game on the X axis lol. But either way so clearly ahead in efficiency.)

By the TS add metric:

Steph has 454.7 TS Add in 2016, the next closest is peak KD with 394.9 and no one else’s peaks come even close in combined volume/efficiency value.

Right now AR is averaging 28.9ppg on +10.5rTS and Steph had 30.1ppg on +12.7rTS. No doubt it’ll be up there with the best ever. Just not #1 all time.

AR is still getting better.

He has a higher free throw rate than peak LeBron somehow. Higher than peak Kobe and dirk too.

Obviously he’s played like an all nba caliber this year but man is the league in a weird spot foul drawing wise. For those who master the ‘dark arts’, this is the ideal time to play in.

Kudos to him for taking full advantage of it, it takes a lot of skill, and can’t blame the player, only the rules.

No-Ranger3356

75 | 4 hours ago

free throws are way way up this year, the refs just call everything a foul

JebBush333

60 | 4 hours ago

I think it’s also the fact that OKC just won the title and looked insanely dominant last year on defence by fouling a shit-ton, so other teams are copying that strategy and playing more aggressive defence while not caring about fouling as much.

I don’t think the game is being called significantly different than last year, teams are just fouling more. Couple that with AR’s increased usage rate, a genuine leap in his skill, and the Lakers whistle and you get this outcome.

Xeris

46 | 3 hours ago

Yea, a few NBA people have confirmed this recently. Stan Van Gundy on Zach Lowe recent pod said as much. Essentially, OKC’s strat last year was to essentially foul a lot or play very aggro defense because they found that the amount of points that generates is more than what you give up in free throws… and now most of the league has started doing this = fouls across the league are up even though officiating is mostly the same.

Its fascinating, even if it makes the games more annoying to watch.

JebBush333

10 | 3 hours ago

Yea it sucks to watch for sure. And yea I basically cribbed this take from that same Lowe pod you just mentioned lol, along with Goldsberry on the BS pod too showing the numbers on it.

It also just lines up with what you see in the games, especially from the playoffs last year.

ObeseKenyan | DEN

I love how no one said it or talked about it until Zach Lowe’s pod. Caruso “guarded” Jokic by just fouling him everytime he touched it, the refs called like 3, then everyone said Caruso played good defence. From watching him and Dort I realised this is different.

Slick_Rhoads

1 | 17 minutes ago

Jokic glazers are so fucking annoying just permanent victim mindset for everything if he doesn’t win MVP it’s voter fatigue and when he has a bad game his teammates don’t deserve to be in the league and when he gets shut down in the playoffs and blown out in a game seven it’s the refs colluding with lu dort and Alex caruso. Most protected athlete on sports History you’d think he’s an 11 year old. Jokic is the greatest offense player ever but he just played against one of the greatest defenses ever. That simple.

Aggressive_Bed6012

5 | 4 hours ago

In general, highest ratio by far of free throw rate / shots within 0-3 feet.

The league is only taking 23% of shots at the rim but with free throw rates higher than 2012 when teams took 29% of their shots at the rim!

UntilDoncic | Lakers

12 | 4 hours ago

Idk if this is actually that meaningful.

2025-26 field goal attempts per game: 89.3

2011-12 Field goal attempts per game: 81.4

23% of 89.3 = 20.539

29% of 81.4 = 23.606

So it’s really only about 3 less shots at the rim. When you consider that spacing makes it harder to lock down the paint it kind of tracks that fouling would be up in those situations.

Aggressive_Bed6012

2 | 3 hours ago

I’m not arguing that the league isn’t getting to the rim. I’m saying that given how few shots are at the rim, the free-throw rate is abnormally high. Historically, higher % of shots at the rim explains higher FTr. In 2012 you had 29% of shots at the rim with lower FTr; now it’s 23% with higher FTr. Your calc only converts the % into raw rim attempts and never touches the FT side, which is the whole point of the ratio I’m talking about.

MilkeeBongRips

6 | 3 hours ago

While you guys aren’t debating math and frequency at the rim, have you tried watching basketball? Players are very obviously reaching and swiping down at the ball while playing a more physical, grabbing style of on-ball defense, leading to more free throws.

League sources literally said coaches had conversations in the offseason about emulating OKC’s legion of boom style defense and not caring about giving up more free throws in the process because they value more possessions from turnovers created when it doesn’t get called.

I’ve been waiting since last year for people like you who complain about Reaves to post a substantial amount of fouls that are called that aren’t deserved. Still waiting. Post some clips.

Aggressive_Bed6012

2 | 3 hours ago

It may be true that the league is attempting to unsuccessfully ape OKC, which is leading to general FTR increases.

It can also be true that there are certain players who can take advantage of that much more than other players. For example reaves or Butler, reaves with essentially an unfathomable .2 jump in free throw rate from last year to this year.

Having watched reaves, he did not jump multiple tiers in his deceptiveness from last season. He’s shooting the shit out of the ball, and he’s abusing a more physical league defense when it comes to drawing fouls.

So nothing I said requires any revision. I already gave kudos to him.

Thanks for contextualizing why league average FTR / shots attempted in paint might be up though

collax974

1 | 10 minutes ago

The new meta strategy defensively seems to treat fouls as a ressource you have to spend while playing defense aggressively to force turnovers. Even if you asked refs to call less fouls, the teams would just play even more aggressively and foul more which would result in the same amount of free throws.

JacboUphill | Lakers

2 | 39 minutes ago

It might be as simple as speed of play. Guys who incorporate a lot of hesitation, change of pace, pump fakes, etc like AR, Luka, Shai, all get to the line at a high clip because even a casual fan watching at game speed can see the defender land on them or lean into them before the shot, so obviously it’s trivial for the refs to see it and call it.

Meanwhile people like LeBron who are freight trains get to the rim so quickly and react so little to the contact until after the play that it’s hard to piece out the flailing limbs and whether it was a valid contest. If he got a call one of the multiple times he got smacked in the head on drives this game the streak would likely have survived.

There’s certainly a cagey aspect to “foul baiting” which people can argue isn’t good for the game, nobody likes watching 100 FTs, but it’s really just these players make the refs job easier to call what is in most cases by-rule illegal defense by slowing the game down. And it’s strategically correct because if you get a defender second guessing their reaction to a pump fake or how close they’re playing you they’ll be less aggressive to avoid fouling which gives you better spacing.

It comes down to diversification or redundancy. With Luka and AR, if Luka gets hurt you can just toss Reaves the ball and kinda do the same thing. I think something like that is a bit more reliable than like Lebron and AD, where their offenses are so different the team has to function two different ways if they arent in the lineup together.

3 years ago, many of us Lakers fans were saying Reaves is an All-Star level player. People laughed and scoffed.

3 years later, the guy is an NBA superstar along the likes of ANT, Booker, etc., It sounds crazy but there’s not much those two dudes can do that Reaves can’t do, either. He can shoot, rebound, get to the FT line, pass, and play off-ball better than any of those two dudes.

Those saying it’s a short sample size, it’s really not. The Lakers were using him as a 4th or 5th option player behind Westbrook, Malik Monk, and guys like that. But when you watch Reaves play, he’s always been an efficient unselfish player so he just played his role but was always capable of more.

Many of us Lakers fans were saying Reaves should have been the 2nd option ahead of AD… that’s how good AR was but the Lakers kept feeding the ball to AD instead. I think Reaves could have been this type of player two seasons ago, IMO.
