I've challenged more online strangers than I'd like to admit with this claim: there is no evidence that Shai enjoys a significantly more favorable whistle than other volume scorers in the league.
The numbers certainly don't say so. After lots of debunked, lazy arguing, the critics–even the Twitter hivemind–now know better than to cite rudimentary counting stats like FTA as proof that Shai gets an unusually high number of fouls called. The per-game, per-playtype, per-minute, and per-possession numbers all point to a guard getting a typical rate of fouls called when penetrating at such a high frequency. His usage volume puts him in the top-5 of total foul drawers, but he hovers modestly above or below average on most free throw metrics.
