One common complaint of Milwaukee Bucks fans during the 2017 NBA Playoffs was that Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t get calls. For the most part, that’s a fair criticism. Giannis got to the line just 6.8 times per 36 minutes in the postseason, and not for a lack of trying.
Although the playoffs stand out more than the regular season, that’s a six-game sample size (albeit a frustrating six games since the Toronto Raptors seemed to get plenty of whistles blown in their favor). Giannis was much more successful in drawing free throws in the regular season, getting to the charity stripe 7.
