Yes, Ball, with his NBA-high 70 personals, has already fouled out four times in 17 outings. No other player in the league has done it more than twice. Leaders in fouls are almost always big men or skilled defenders tasked with stopping players who are closer to the basket. (The last time a point guard led the NBA in personal fouls? It was technically the 2015-16 season, when then-Bucks coach Jason Kidd thrust 6-foot-11 Antetokounmpo into a floor general role in hopes of developing his game. But unlike Ball, Antetokounmpo wasn’t often defending point guards or players along the perimeter.) -via ESPN / November 28, 2024
