I tend to notice it in the number of free throws a player attempts. For aggressive players, they get to the line quite often.

Train defense. As his defense improves, his tendency to foul decreases. But his ability to draw fouls can be a valuable strategic tool once he is better developed.


The ability to draw fouls is a myth - no one has ever seen a correlation between aggressiveness and drawing fouls. Improved defence does not help either.

[expletive] waste of time to train such a player

It's a trainer's job to scout the opposition's tendency to draw fouls. Some players do draw more, some less. Then you try to have your trainee (especially if he is aggressive) defends those who draw less fouls. Don't try to create mismatch though - guards never defend bigs and vice versa. It also helps if your trainee is a guard and he defends guard position and you play 3-2. This way you don't need to play too much attention to opposition. But not sure if it would work the other way round.

I wouldn't put my chances on foul prone player, If I keep him would be as a role player or a sub. I had this PG that draw 3, 4 fouls every game. THat wasn't bad. Until he fouled out on final matches. Given that he was very important in my offense, I sold him and got another.

It's up to you but I wouldn't hace a foul prone player as any of my top 3 or 5 players... Lost too many finals, learned the hard way =(
