Jalen Brunson is happy to keep drawing fouls — and the criticism that comes with them
NY Post
Jalen Brunson doesn’t care. In fact, he sees it as his specialty.
Throughout the Knicks’ first-round series against the Pistons, there’s been much discourse about Brunson “foul-baiting” or flopping.
Entering Tuesday’s Game 5 at Madison Square Garden, Brunson had drawn 36 fouls in the series — second-most among all players in the playoffs, behind only Giannis Antetokounmpo.
He also had taken 36 total free throws, second-most in the league, also behind Antetokounmpo.
In the regular season, Brunson drew an average of 6.3 fouls per game — once again second-most in the league behind Antetokounmpo.
