Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1315393, member: 569"] You give no credence to the difference in position when it comes to assist numbers. Forwards and Bigs even who handle a lot are going to have lower assist numbers than guards in general just because of the way offense is structured and the fact that good offensive big guys are the ones that you generally prefer shooting the ball when they get it in their spots. You are often unreasonable in the way you structure your posts and declare things as absolutes rather than being willing to have a healthy disagreement/discussion. Both guys liked to shoot and both were capable passers at their positions that likely could have passed more in their time at SU IMO. I would say this though, on those two squads I'd bet that Melo and Dion where the lowest assist guys per 40 minutes for their positions (forward/guard) but that Dion is further away from the mean at his position than Melo is.
