When a pg doesn't score, can't shoot, but has 10 assists...

[10bandz]

His shot is barely missing....its obvious he'll start hitting them eventually.

I played basketball growing up and being the PG/set up man is easy. My best game ever was one where I was like Magic Johnson on the court with the assists. I was good at PG but I didn't like it.

I preferred scoring. bytches noticed it more and it was harder to do. Its a lot more difficult to break and team down and score the ball yourself than to break down the defense and pass the ball putting pressure on the other guy to hit a shot.

Stop acting like every assist is a play where you give a guy an open layup. Most assists are simply as a result of being the last guy to pass the ball before a guy scores.

Assist = easiest stat in basketball

Lets just say that scoring 40 points is way more impressive than getting 15 assists.

i was magic on the court but i preferred scoring because of bytches brehs

I can average 5 assists right now if I were in the nba

Anyone with some athleticism and a little bounce can drive into the lane and collapse defenses. But it takes a special type of player to be able to break down defenses and identify the correct person to pass.

You don't average 10 assists a game by swinging the ball at the top of the key all game.

The PG position ain't for dummies. There's a reason so many head coaches are ex-PG's

Somebody said that getting assists is the easiest thing to do while acknowledging that it doesn't strictly rely on your own doing.


Amazing.

 

[MJ Truth]

A PG’s job is to run the offense and create scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Lonzo is doing that fairly well right now.

When Rondo does it though it's stay padding and he isn't really good.

He's 19 years old.

That wasn't being said for D'Angelo Russell tho

One of the best passers to ever grace the hardwood.

All before he blew out his knee at 28 years old, clearly on a HoF pace. Also, one of the best playoff performers of his generation, practically averaged a triple double in the '09 Playoffs when KG was injured, averaged 17/7/12 and eviscerated the Big 3 Miami Heat. Even a washed Rondo on Chicago was leading the Bulls to wins in the playoffs.




If Lonzo turns out to be a Rondo-type with the ability to hit threes with range and finish above the rim in transition like he showed at UCLA, we got ourselves a hell of a PG.

Rondo played defense.

 

[Flywin Lannister]

Assists are the weakest stat in basketball. Its totally dependent on what someone else does.

There is a reason scoring is the hardest thing to do in basketball. Its all on you.

As Jay-Z said, I respect the shooter.

How can it be TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON WHAT SOMEONE ELSE DOES... if the person who gives the assist DOES SOMETHING: namely put the ball and the team mate in a place where points can be scored.

Scoring always gets credit of course, but to say the assist plays no role..

And of course you aren't aware of basic shyt like this.

I can't believe you typed this bullshyt out. You've usually got your head on straight when it comes to these things.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

That's just letting me know his teammates helped make his stats for from to .


What the media is doing with Lonzo Ball right now is exact same thing they did with Reggie Bush. They ignored his weak rushing totals and focused on his "touches" and all purpose yards.


It's seems like assists only get pointed out and highlighted when certain players do it.

How old are you?

 

[BigE214]

1 turnover

1 block

2 steals

8 rebounds

+/- +13



Getting his teammates in position to score everytime

Could've had MORE assists if team actually had good scorers/shooters

And also locked up John Wall when guarding him

Stop it. They put Lonzao on Wall once and never did it the rest of the game

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

I have never seen a rookie get criticized this early

You trolling you dumb fakkit? You ain't seen all the Fultz hate? I've seen you hate on Fultz. Can't take it when the target is ya boy Lonzo?

 

[mastermind]

Lonzo gonna be a good player.

Its time to stop hating on the kid.
