We knew the NBA’s new rules for shooting fouls would have some sort of impact on the game, but man, it feels like that’s understating it a bit at this point.
NBA players all over the league are trying to draw contact with unnatural basketball moves and it’s just not working at all this year.
For those out of the loop, the NBA changed its rules to crack down on non-basketball moves being used to draw fouls. From now on, when a shooter or an offensive player uses what an official determines to be a non-basketball move to draw a foul, it will either be ruled a no-call or an offensive foul.
That has disrupted some things around the league quite a bit, including with some pretty big names.
