The Assists Thread

[MHSL82]

Be quiet, Jazz Twitter. I'd rather compare him across all rookies in history through their first three starts. That would be more meaningful.

If it is about nine assists per game, it is meaningful. Of course, if it’s four games, it is more meaningful. If it is more than 9 assists, it’s more meaningful. If it’s for a whole career like Stockton, it’s the most meaningful. I mean, I am impressed that Stockton is the all-time leader, but I like assists enough that I am impressed on the number, even if he hadn’t been the all time leader. (If I’m BBClo someone else were the leader, I’d be impressed with the assists itself, but not that he’s the leader.) Obviously, being number one provides context, but I don’t particularly care about other teams, or players from other teams.

Skylar Mays has 3 starts in his career, and has 26 assists in that span.

That’s not 27.

What does BBClo mean?

It's less meaningful to call him "elite" if many others have done it too.

It's less meaningful if the sample size is as restricted as they made it, which is to only one franchise.

There have been thousands of players to play in the league. Let's see where he ranks among those using that criteria.

Utah Jazz, learn how to stop giving up career highs in assists to opposing players and teams. Not even @MHSL82 wants to see the Phoenix Suns do those things against the Utah Jazz.

George's shooting seems to have improved. The rest of his game might be getting worse.

I wonder if that's the highest assist % in history.

I have that in the Nuraman thread somewhere.

@MHSL82, why didn't you tell me this happened? I didn't know either of these players did it.
