Message: [QUOTE="navery12, post: 5107616, member: 6271"] 3 fouls per 16 minutes a game is too high even if we're only expecting 20 minutes from him. Yes he could technically play his 20 minutes without fouling out at that rate, but it's going to severely limit his effectiveness. He might be on the court, but he won't be able to play as aggressive in those minutes with 2 fouls in the 1st half, or picking up a 3rd early in the 2nd half, or with 4 late in the game. That being said, I don't put a ton of stock into those 2023 numbers. He knew he was getting 10-15 minutes most nights, and fouls weren't a concern. I'm sure a different mindset is being drilled into him this year [/QUOTE]
