Take a look at the assists on the team. Stuckey and Bynum are averaging about 4. Gordon almost 3.5. Then there's no one else. So just because there aren't that many assists doesn't mean that it's the PGs fault.Quote:

Also Rip has more assists than Charlie V does this year. Think about that one.
Is that why we got CV? To pass the ball?
I love when this happens...wait...
You're right, a 0.3 Assist average is perfectly normal for a starting PF. Let's put the blame completely on the PGs for the low assist total.Quote:

So if CV gets assists, the stat keepers will just give them to the PGs?
playing the 2-man game is the only way we can score right now. You cant put two non-scorers out there for %75 of the game and expect to score AND have a high assist total.
Right now, V is catching the ball off screen and rolls and taking his man 1-on-1. That's currently his only play. I would expect his role to diversify when we get more weapons on the floor, and he becomes more comfortable with his teammates.
I'm pretty sure when CV gets assists, it's added to the teams total. If I recall correctly.Quote:

You are the only one arguing that the guards (all 12 of them on this damn team) are getting enough assists.
Yes, Ben Wallace should be carrying this team's assist total... We get it.Quote:
