It doesn't look like he's doing much running of the team, though. If you're a good floor general, it shows up in the stats somewhere, but there's nothing in the numbers that indicates he's average or better at PG. Maybe he's racking up a bunch of hockey assists, idk. He's as turnover prone as Gillon and Howard, doesn't pass any better than either, and is a poor finisher inside the arc/at the rim. Indiana has beaten two very good teams, but it doesn't look like Newkirk has anything to do with that; it's his teammates carrying the load. At best, he's benefiting from having talent around him, which still isn't showing up in his stats.
