Alexander, who has been ridiculed as having a lot of "penalties", has averaged 9.1 penalties per game since the start of the season, only ranking 7th! So who are the top six on the free throw list? For the first time, he averaged 12.5 points per game, breaking the historical record.

Sixth place: Banqueiro (9.3 times)

Banqueiro averaged 21.7 points per game, which is far behind Alexander's 32 points per game. However, his 9.3 free throws per game are not eye-catching. The fundamental reason is that Banqueiro is a striker who relies heavily on physical impact to score. Most of the free throws come from fouls under strong confrontation after attacking the inside.

In contrast, Alexander's free throws often come from secondary acceleration and rhythm changes. The intensity of collisions and confrontations is far less intense than that of Banqueiro. In addition, his more exaggerated foul-making actions have resulted in his relatively small number of free throws per game, but he is frequently criticized by the outside world.

Fifth place: Reeves (9.8 times)

Reeves' situation is similar to Alexander's. If fouls are divided into two categories: civil and military, then Banqueiro is a real martial artist, while Reeves and Alexander are both civil. Especially Reeves, whose physical condition is not outstanding, he relies entirely on rhythm to play with defenders.

If it weren't for James and Doncic beside him, Reeves would have produced even more terrifying free throw statistics. His exaggerated scoring performance in a single game when leading the team with a single core also confirms this.

Fourth place: Antetokounmpo (10.2 times)

Antetokounmpo averaged 31.2 points per game, almost one-third of which came from free throws, but he did not get into controversy because of his many free throws.

Because Antetokounmpo is one of the stars with the most exaggerated impact and inside dominance in the league. After Lillard left the team this season, Antetokounmpo, who was unable to support himself, further took on more ball rights and production.

With 73% of his shots coming from the penalty area, he posted a career-high 63% field goal percentage. Unfortunately, according to the current staffing of the Bucks and the current championship structure of the league, the possibility of Antetokounmpo leading the team to win the championship with a single core is extremely slim.

Third place: Zion (10.2 times)

Zion has only averaged 21.3 points per game since the start of the season, but his 10.3 free throws per game are the same as Antetokounmpo, which means that almost half of his points come from the free throw line, but no one doubts that Zion takes more free throws.

Because Zion, like Antetokounmpo, almost all his points come from the penalty area and the basket, and he has not even taken a three-pointer since the beginning of the season.

Even after losing a lot of weight, Zion's impact, explosive power and inside confrontation still occupy a crushing advantage in the same position, but the huge strength also puts his body under excessive pressure. How to stay healthy is still a problem he has to face this season.

Second place: Marcelin (12.3 times)

There is a certain degree of chance that Marcelin ranks second. He is trapped by injuries. Since the beginning of the season, he has only played in 4 games. Due to the serious injury of the Pacers, Marcelin has unlimited firing rights.

Coupled with the fact that he has a good three-point touch since the beginning of the season, and the league has modified the defensive rules in a targeted manner, Marcelin has averaged 12.3 free throws per game in a short period of time.

I believe that as the number of games increases, this data will drop quickly, because in the first few seasons of his career, Marcelin has never averaged more than 6 free throws per game, and he is not good at it.

First place: Doncic (12.5 times)

It is not surprising that Doncic ranks first. His current situation can be said to have gathered all the factors that are conducive to free throws. First of all, he is in the super-rich Lakers team, and he is also a candidate for the new generation of NBA figures.

After completing the weight loss, Doncic has maintained the physical confrontation advantage in the original matchup, and also improved the flexibility when playing small and large. Coupled with the top golf intelligence and the ability to score both inside and outside, it is strange that Doncic, who is "both civil and military", does not average a high number of free throws per game.

Taking into account the further revision of the shooting defense whistle-blowing standards, and with the return of Doncic's outside touch, he is even expected to further improve this data. If he can maintain this performance, he will surpass Jerry West (averaging 12.4 free throws per game) and become the defender who averages the most free throws per game in a single season in NBA history.
