The biggest impact to his game was not getting calls he's used to getting when driving into to the paint. He was a career 3.3FTA average and the previous season averaged 2.5FTA but then that dropped down to 0.9FTA when he was with the Suns. And it was pretty evident with the eye test he wasn't getting the same respect despite drawing the same contact as before.

That's an extra 2pts he could've added while getting defenders in foul trouble

Yeah we need those guys kinda reliant on physical calls. We get nothing here.

I hated watching him put the ball on the floor. Cringeworthy every time. The less FTA the better.
