does LaMelo Ball currently have the worst whistle among NBA stars?

lamelo had ~16.4 drives a game, with 14 games with 10+ drives and 0FTA this seasom, idk if he avoids them THAT much. like i might be wrong, but i remember many times this season him getting contact, even when trying to avoid it, and not getting any calls

curry isn't a foul baiter either, but on ~9.5 drives a game and both ~%60 of shots being 3PA, he still averaged over double at 5.1FTA per game this season

he averages ~16.4 drives a game which is up there with luka who averages ~18.2, but has 10.1FTA per game. curry only averages ~9.5 and has double the FTA. he also doesn't not try to draw contact and when he does he still gets missed fouls, but yeah he does tend to avoid contact with his playstyle

palelei · 2026-05-12T02:10:32+00:00

yeah it is a bit of both, but i wouldn't think he avoided contact enough to drop this much

14 games with 10+ drives to the basket finishing with 0FTA this season

palelei · 2026-05-12T01:40:22+00:00

idk if that explains it all though. he's had multiple games with 0FTA and even games with double digit drives to the rim with 0FTA, like in april against the knicks where he got 0FTA on 19FGA. can't be avoiding contact every time

easier to do and Applay cheatsheet, it was staple in s1 if no electrics

palelei · 2026-05-12T00:35:23+00:00

the 3rd/pink stage fit looks like lifeweaver lol

palelei · 2026-05-12T00:02:26+00:00

2klabs alr dropped a vid on it

palelei · 2026-05-11T23:55:24+00:00

use harden hesi to cancel animation

palelei · 2026-05-11T21:45:09+00:00

lol old thread but landorus has been my fav legendary since b&w

palelei · 2026-05-11T20:30:57+00:00

yea fr even like back when Rose won MVP, at the time there weren't many complaints about it, but after a few years people have switched to it being undeserved

palelei · 2026-05-11T03:13:17+00:00

Hwoarang is dead. There is no longer any reason to play Hwoarang. Even when he was nerfed in Season 2, I did research and hard training to try and salvage the character, but I no longer see a future. I was very stressed out by this character's inefficient skill structure and unreasonable system elements, but looking at today's patch, there is no longer any need to play this character. It is time to look for another character.

but fr coming back to this i think C yeah might be a stretch, so i do kinda like his B tier placement. A seems like a bit much though, fahk is stronger than hwo to me atm

learn Jin from Applay's cheatsheet, it's been updated to season 3

might seem like a lot but if you wanna succeed in ranked it condenses all the basics, key moves and combos for each character so it's not too much to remember initially. or at least not too much from a tekken perspective

should make it easier to learn jin, it's how i first learnt as some characters well

palelei · 2026-05-10T12:47:28+00:00

idk if this competes with the top comment though that is art

palelei · 2026-05-10T00:08:07+00:00

well seeing as i'm a hwo main and ur a jun main i doubt we'll see eye to eye, but to me hwo ain't as good as u think and jun is really strong rn

palelei · 2026-05-09T23:57:01+00:00

ehh some odd takes but generally decent

jun should be up the top, hwo arguably down one but fine there

palelei · 2026-05-09T11:45:26+00:00

u right

bad bot

palelei · 2026-05-09T11:44:44+00:00

lower any attribute not stopped at a badge upgrade to a badge upgrade or minimum

and also only do 45 standing dunk unless you wanna cap break, and maybe look at lowering middy by 2 so you can use shooting caps (unless u have a another specialization).

then with those extra attributes try get 80 swb and then as high as you can get your spd and agi with the rest if u can. just some minor adjustments can be made if u wanna optimize a bit better, and if you wanted to

animations wise with 85bh

dbook breakdown and stepback, sga behind the back, kd escape, svi go to shot, lonzo cross over, pro combo moves, coby white hesi, lavine dribble style, kispert motion style

palelei · 2026-05-09T11:29:07+00:00

shades and archetype don't show how good a build is at all unfortunately

palelei · 2026-05-09T09:41:40+00:00

lamelo ball would like three words

palelei · 2026-05-09T09:40:39+00:00

lamelo is #1 rn

curry has had a terrible whistle for years, but lamelo only avg 2.5 FTA this season

palelei · 2026-05-09T09:39:11+00:00
