'He’s rugged, he’s physical, but he has a great knack for going through contact,' Fil-Am coach Erik Spoelstra says of Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler. NBA75
If there is anyone concerned about whether or not the NBA’s new rule changes on offensive players’ attempts to draw fouls would alter the on-court production of Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler, Erik Spoelstra isn’t one of them.against the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks, Spoelstra explained why he believes Butler’s long tradition of being a league leader in fouls drawn leading to free throws won’t stop.
The difference has been prominent through the first three days of the regular season, as multiple players who would purposely lean into their defenders and attempt to trick their way to the free throw line have been left hanging. To be specific, that includes: launching or leaning into a defender at an abnormal angle, an offensive player veering off his path into the defender in an abrupt manner, overtly extending a portion of one’s body into a defender, and an offensive player using his off-arm to initiate contact with a defender.“He’s rugged, he’s physical, but he has a great knack for going through contact. It’s not as if those are not earned. Those are mini car-wrecks when he’s drawing fouls and getting to the line.
