You pretty much answered it yourself...
Whereas in most standard basketball offenses the PG has a high usage rate (25% and above) in MYs offense he prefers his PG to get the ball out of his hands early and share the passing among 5 offensive players.
This year is obviously different when you have a 6'9 lottery pick as a PG, but even still you can see the goal is to get the ball put of his hands early (it just finds its way back to him much more often.
With that said, if you look at the numbers historically under MY, Hammond's APG would be 5th most of any VT player under MY, and 3rd among PGs behind Avdalas and Pedulla
Couple that with the added context of the usage rate of Pedulla and Avdalas is higher than Hammond then hes pretty darn efficient.
Here are the usage rates for Pedulla, Avdalas and Hammond
Pedulla (year 1) - 23.2% (1.3 apg)
Pedulla (year 2) - 24 1% (3.8 apg)
Pedulla (year 3) - 30.1% (4.6 apg)
Avdalas - 23.7% (4.8 apg)
Hammond (year 1) - 18.7% (2.1 apg)
Hammond (year 2) - 20.6% (3.5 apg)
Hammond's usage is pretty pedestrian among PGs, even by MY standards, but he is still getting more assists for his usage rate than any non-Avdalas PG VT has had under MY

Sure is a shame Avdalas cant create his own scoring...**

Absolutely. A key reason he was the number one draft pick. **

Just based on casual observation, a decent # of his turn-overs have come...
