t also could be the level of competition is too great for him. When you play someone far suprior to you, you foul him to compensate for being weaker. So a inept guarding SG will foul a prominent shooting SG because they can't stop him.
with my experience with nationalteams, i would say that is wrong - because the foul distribitution looks pretty the same even when they are huge different in quality on both side.
In clubs it counts a bit, but this is more part of beeing the missmatch(that could also be the opposite player with best chanches to score in a very good defense), because this misssmatch takes a lot of shots. And in clubs the chanche is high to have superior scorers/players in team, which leads to many shot attemps of a single player - and many posiibilities to foul him.
a) Three skills in my opinion that really help fouls are OD, ID, and SB. The higher they are the less they foul.
sometimes i believe thats right sometimes not, but if it right i believe stamina is also a factor here.
b) Also, IMHO, there is a hidden foul skill that is just how rough a given player players.
not just imho, this is the biggest part of it who leed to consistenly high amount of fouls.
