I’ve seen him called many things: slaw, trash, whiner, but above all, Vanderbilt’s Scottie Pippen Jr. is known as the Flop God.
Your eyes don’t deceive you: Scottie Pippen flops a lot. He led the nation in free throw attempts by a wide margin — over 10% more than anyone else in the country — hitting the deck and the stripe almost 8 times per game, every game: 299 attempts in 2022, which is almost double last season’s floptacular 167 FTA. By contrast, Pippen only attempted 341 field goals all season.
That’s remarkably impressive for a 6’1” guard.
