Is it old fashioned thinking to want your PG to have high assists?
Or is it at odds with MY's system where we expect to score from the perimeter than in the paint? I was confused by the graphic showing 11 assists - I don't typically look at box scores. I figured it out - this is the total of two games for the week, whereas the PPG is an average. Interesting that Sean is ranked 134th in the nation at 4.1 assists per game. I think 173rd in PPG. I couldn't find where he ranks in TOs.
I'm not trolling here. Just curious why the focus on the individual stats besides the small collection of weirdos that say SP should be benched or transfer. I'm not in that camp. But it's a team sport and you're judged by wins and losses. I would have said he's an exceptional player, but not an exceptional PG. How do you define a "PG"? I tend to have a more traditional view of that role as running the offense, executing the coach's game plan, and distributing the ball. Making your teammates better. More Magic Johnson (19 PPG, 11 assists) than Steph Curry (24 PPG, 6 assists). Sean is generating points with a lot of work around the basket. Some very difficult shots. Like a Liz Kitley fade away post up play. They aren't all shots around the perimeter after 3-4 passes or running a set (aka, he's not "open" and often contested). Is he running MY's system? If he's not, is it in the best interest of the team? Or are they abandoning the system to just get points?
