I'm all in favor of improved ball movement and passing. I want to get the defense moving in response to what we do so that they open up spaces we can exploit with our drives. If we just lower our heads and drive from the three point line like a fullback trying to score in the red zone, we will be very easy to defend against. An assists is not precisely a good pass. it's a scorer's opinion of a good pass that resulted in a basket because the shooter made the shot. Shooters assist assisters in getting the assists as much as passer assist the shooter in scoring points. Assists at best are a reflection of good passing - and good shooting.

I thought the question was why doesn't Syracuse get as many assists as the other team or why don't we get the same percentage? The fact is scorers grant more assists off jump shots than they do off of lay-ups and dunks and our type of team, even when playing well, isn't going to get as many assists as a jump-shooting team like Wake and I thought that's what JB was saying.
