I took the Tracking Data (http://stats.nba.com/playerTrackingPassing.html?PlayerOrTeam=Player&pageNo=1&rowsPerPage=25&filters=TeamAbbr*E*SAS&SeasonType=Regular%20Season) and combined total assists with secondary assists (basically, hockey assists), and FT assists. Things don't really change much:


8.0 Tony Parker (SAS)
6.1 Manu Ginobili (SAS)
3.7 Boris Diaw (SAS)
3.7 Tim Duncan (SAS)
3.3 Marco Belinelli (SAS)
2.9 Patty Mills (SAS)
2.8 Kawhi Leonard (SAS)
2.2 Cory Joseph (SAS)
2.2 Danny Green (SAS)
2.0 Tiago Splitter (SAS)
1.2 Jeff Ayres (SAS)
0.9 Aron Baynes (SAS)
1.7 Nando De Colo (SAS)
0.7 Matt Bonner (SAS)

I'm not vouching for that methodology, but the results make sense to me.

My guess would be this is pretty accurate. Tony/Manu should dominate it since they initiate most of the non-iso offense
