personally i have more the feeling that "assist" counted the european way here, which makes it hard to get double figures in this category. It isn't a unimportant skill, and in my eyes it was also important with the od GE but you need to make finishing passes to get an assist, and not just be the last guy who pass to a scoring player like in the NBA(ok maybe that is a bit drastic, but in europe the standard for a assist is higher).

PS: About rebounding, the low shooting percentage and that the players the ball isn't flying out of the court throw rebound situtions+ no team rebounds etc.

a good PG goes a long way.


You won't see me disagree on that point.

-really good teams have high passing on their SG, SF, etc. These players will in essence "steal" assists from the PG.


To amplify Paper's point I use two PG's as starters both with well over 10 passing (I wont give the exact # for NT reasons). Both of them steal Assists from each other as well as my bigmen who have high passing.

Another factor is that every rebound shows up on the boxscore and Matchviewer, however not every pass does. A pass needs to be above a certain quality, X, in order to be counted as an assist. A few seasons ago the BB's lowered X so that more assists we're being shown even though more assists weren't necessarily being made. This makes it hard to judge the exact output of a players Passing.

I am not sure that does the modification justice. As far as I know, what they did was to actually increase the effectiveness of passing. I am not sure if I interpret that as a "lowering of X".

Are you sure? I was pretty -> very sure it was just lowering the threshold of what was considered an assist.

Its what headpaper said, BB's gave more importance on passing by increasing their effect.

Why should it be illogical? Everything depends on the league you're playing in. For example, (5952825) this player has phenomenal passing but he averages 7 assists per game
