ISH, where would you rank this NBA player as a passer?

What was the point of this thread again?

Read the title.

Yes KD too, like LeBron, averages 6 assists per game and 4 turnovers per game.

I guess the difference is that Durant does it with Thabo Sefolosha and Kendrick Perkins starting while LeBron does it with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh

Do you live in an alternate universe in which Westbrook and Ibaka do not play for the Thunder? Also, KD gets one less APG while averaging the same number of TOV's.

What is their classification for "bad pass" though? Is there a "good pass but the receiver fumbled it" stat? Seems misleading to me.

The score keeper decides.

Branstans gonna tell you how Thabo and Perkins are better than Wade and Bosh

LeBron once averaged 30ppg and 8.6 assists per game for a season

Who was the last person to put up those numbers? Oscar?

Only one I can think of recently was D-Wade with 30.2/7.5

Just one more, Kevin Durant:

123/285 (1.52/game) for the season, 28/72 (1.47/game) for the playoffs.

How on earth would KD be assisting to Westbrook other than in a few transition moments?

If I had to guess, the player KD assists most is Ibaka. He also sets Perkins up with a lot of great passes, but then Perkins fukks them up as usual.

It will be interesting to see how well KD does with Morrow on the wing next year. He has gotten really good at dishing from the post, so maybe he could average around the ballpark of 6.5 assists per game next year.

Tiny - 34 PPG and 11 APG.

Damn, thats impressive. You know I would rep you for posting these if I could

Plus Durant gets these assists while controlling the ball a relatively low amount and while doing them on significantly less passes than say, a LeBron James takes to get them.

Keep in mind that LeBron averages 50.7 passes per game while Durant averages 38.5. Much more room for error with LeBron. But these are interesting.

You are one delusional individual.

Actually, just wanted to do Westbrook:

100/177 (2.17/game) season and 44/83 (2.32/game) playoffs.

Keep in mind that LeBron averages 50.7 passes per game while Durant averages 38.5. Much more room for error with LeBron. But these are interesting.

So if KD passed the ball as many times as LeBron did, he'd average well over 7 assists per game? (And this isn't even accounting for KD's teammates being less efficient scorers...)

Interesting.

lol I'm just looking up the numbers on basketball-reference. They added new tables under the heading "Play-by-Play", so I just divided the number in the "Bad Pass" column by the number of games played (I listed total turnovers too, but it's unnecessary).

They also have offensive fouls and lost balls in the breakdown. "Other" is shot clock violations and other random shit.

Keep in mind that LeBron averages 50.7 passes per game while Durant averages 38.5. Much more room for error with LeBron. But these are interesting.

True. As volume increases, you'd expect more errors.

Yeah, maybe if he passed more instead of chucking, they would even have a better chance of winning as well. KD would also have a 30/5/5/5 season (with 5 turnovers, obviously).
