On paper, Donovan looks pretty much the same this season. Which is hardly a slight. He is top fifteen in the league in total points scored, putting up 26 per contest, and is the best offensive player on one of the best offenses in the league thus far.
And what’s both impressive and concerning is that he’s doing it without a key scoring component: Free throw shooting.
Free throw attempts are down league-wide pretty significantly over the last two seasons. It’s made games shorter and easier to watch. I expect the League will address the newest scourge of the game, the take foul, this offseason.
