Wooo pig! Led the ncaa last season to leading the association so badass!
This is a wonderful stat OP! Charges Drawn are a sign of a high IQ defender.
But the problem with Charges Drawn Per Game is that it’s per game, so a guy like JWill, who comes off the bench and averages fewer minutes per game than others on the list, is at a disadvantage. Better to look at it per 36 minutes.
And that’s when it gets fun! JWill, Eugene Omoruyi and Kenny Hustle are all in the top 5 charges drawn per 36 minutes! That speaks volumes about how smart our team is, and how well coached they are.
Surprisingly for a stat like this which is usually dominated by centres, Isaiah Joe is at number 14, showing he’s a better defender than we’d imagine!
And finally, although the number 1 player in this category is Udonis Haslem, he has only played 47 minutes across 6 games this season, so it’s too few to really be counted. Without Haslem, OKC would have players at number 1, 2, 4, and 13 in this category.
Per 36 could be a bit iffy for charges drawn as it can inflate the numbers of low minute players that foul at a highish rate

At one point it was Kenny at #1 in charges and Dort #1 in offensive fouls drawn.
Idk where to check for it, but if there’s a stat for drawing offensive fouls on screens, Dort totally has it haha
This is where I heard it.
Been hearing a lot of teams saying how aggressive thunder plays. I am so glad to hear that as well as these two guys play smart defense cashing charge calls against other team.
Coach D interview last game also point it out how JWill wasn’t a shooter in college, but when he joined the thunder, he is not shy doing it. That’s the mentality. Keep that big smile of yours up! #Jwill
Haslem has played 6 games FWIW
Yeah, I just didn’t put it in the title because it was already long and clunky and figured everyone would know Haslem’s stat was on low volume. Debated not including him in the title, but then I figured someone might call me out for not including him, so no win either way lol
I have a question, those offensive fouls that Dort usually drawns are considered charges?
Omorui is 7th in per game too
JWill is phenomenal
