    Let me rephrase...

    If Amare is cosidered a shot creator by taking lobs and underneath passes from Nash drives, then Nazr is a big man with soft hands and quick feet. My apologies on the ambiguous sarcasm.

    ^^^ LOL

    I still would like to know what the number off assists the rest of the teams in the league are holding opponents to, anyone have a site??
    Check NBA.com sortable team stats. An average NBA team (say, 15th in rank) dishes out 20 assists/game. It's about the same for assists allowed (20 apg)for a middle of the pack team.

    The leaders normally are up above 25 apg and the leaders in fewest assists allowed are around 16 apg.

    Well, last year he averaged 17 shots a game and almost 3 offensive rebounds a game. Assuming he went back up with every one of those rebounds, it is still only 20% of his shots, and 17 shots a game is not that many compared to many scorers in the league. Also consider that almost 30% of all of his points last year came from the charity stripe.

    Thanks! I was curious just how well they were supposedly doing, and if everyone was just overreacting to the point differential.
    I still say it's an anomally, either because of the way they play or the compe ion they have played lately as posted by someone else earlier.
    Either way, don't see it lasting the entire year.

    Yep. Go on the road without your stud big man and you can get humbled pretty quickly.

    sample size is too small. but a possible explanation is that teams that play phoenix try to play one on one basketball instead of staying within their offense.
    That's a good alternative hypothesis.

    What does AST per 100 possessions indicate?
    imo, not much. who are cares about AST per possesions that don't score?

    Rather, I think its AST/FG that shows how strong team play is.
    You're right, per AST/FG is a better isolation of assists and overall team play.

    I like looking at all sorts of team tendencies, all scaled by overall possessions -- how many FT they get, how many shots, assists, rebounds, etc.
