I think I was the first person in the thread who mentioned that improving a guy's d goes a long way to inhibiting their fouls. I looked at fouls per game from his rookie season to the present for the guy I bought who is a super fouler. The fact is that he still fouls at about the same rate. I was wrong about that with my guy. Somehow it seems like he isn't fouling as much anymore but the numbers say he is. Tonight he had 3 in 16 minutes. The most minutes he has ever played without fouling is 24.
I still play him, but generally as a backup, so I don't worry about it.
Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
