People who don't watch Shai Gilgeous-Alexander play sure have a lot of opinions about how Shai Gilgeous-Alexander plays. Teams can't stop following him, and that somehow turns into a knock on his game, as he's labeled a free-throw merchant. That criticism was extra loud after SGA attempted 40 free throws in the first two games of the season.
But in the four games since, he's shot 14 free throws total. If your first reaction is to think that, well, the free throw merchant could never succeed without getting to the line, I have some bad news for you.
