I'd be interested if you have any detailed articles along these lines.
No, there are almost no article even mentioning the turnovers, steals, giveaways, etc. I can see that there would be fair number of TO's in attempting to forcefeed him down low, but the patience he demonstrated with the 76ers appears to show low risk passes, where the players would be cutting by him & he would basically put the ball in their chest or hands from a
close distance.
An example of his patience below shows two fake passes followed by a power move to the basket, drawing four defenders and finding an open Billy C. We can also see the defensive players with their hands up denying the active cutters. If he forced the first pass or two then it would likely be a turnover.

But it wasn't as much ball faking as it was to protect it from the defense, also with his beautiful hand offs. No center except perhaps Walton/Russell was ever better at hitting the cutters from the pivot. You may be thinking too much of 1970 playoffs, when his mobility was Bynum-esque, having just come off career a threatening knee injury. He was nowhere near the scoring threat he was in his younger years & therefore more predictable on offense. Plus NY was playing off him a bit. A player like Wilt who relied a lot on his physical power & floor positioning preferred to feel the defender on him in the pivot, so he could better read & react due to his lack of a faceup game. Despite being a stationary pivot for the most part even in Philly, he was great at moving from one side of the lane to the other as the ball swung on the perimeter. With the Lakers I have never seen him that active on offense.
There was also a video which Youtube has since deleted showing Walker, Greer, & Wilt in a triangle setup where the Bullets defense dictated the Sixers passes. Greer had the ball & saw Walker's man was sagging back so he passed to Walker, who's man thus comes up while Greer's man sags. So Walker hits Wilt who makes a two handed touch pass back to Greer for the open shot. It doesn't seem Wilt drew very many double teams due to the constant player movement. I am also assuming that a fair number of his points during the early high scoring Warriors years came in transition as a finisher (primarily from Guy Rodgers) thus inflating his regular season average & overstating his alleged playoff decline (where naturally the game would slow down & there would be less possessions).
