Breaking down the assists

Duiz · Post #1 » by **Duiz** » Tue Apr 8, 2008 7:49 am

Just check this out. All of the following stats are just a breakdown of the assists total for the season as of 4/7/08, and what they were actually on. Such as if I kickout the pass for a three pointer, then it is a 3pt assist.

These stats will reflect how striking different the Hornets, Jazz, and Suns are and so their point guards. You judge these stats as you may.

3pt
1st Chris Paul - 256
2nd Allen Iverson - 190
3rd Jose Calderon - 188
4th Baron Davis - 185
5th LeBron James - 175
...
10th Deron Williams - 147

Jump
1st Deron Williams - 307
2nd Chris Paul - 262
3rd Jose Calderon - 244
4th Chauncey Billups - 242
5th Earl Watson - 240
...
6th Steve Nash - 229

Close
1st Steve Nash - 292
2nd Deron Williams - 243
3rd Baron Davis - 218
4th Chris Paul - 187
5th Jason Kidd - 172

Dunk
1st Steve Nash - 171
2nd Chris Paul - 144
3rd Andre Miller - 142
4th Deron Williams - 115
5th Jason Kidd - 101

Total
1st Chris Paul - 849
2nd Steve Nash - 846
3rd Deron Williams - 812
4th Jose Calderon - 633
5th Baron Davis - 585

Nice find, Duiz. Although I think they somehow didn't include Kidd's stats after the trade.

I don't think this tells much about the point guards and more about the guys they pass to.

I must agree... Comparing Brewer/Kirilenko wing combo to Peterson/Stojakovic is a travesty, but you can see also the jumpshots, something all of them cam do but don't do as often, or at least Paul doesn't make any plays for it often.

Here is what is says to me.

Paul penetrates and dishes for most of his assists.

Deron works the perimeter and finds the open man coming off screens for his assists. Also uses the pick and pop a lot more then the rest of these guys.

And Nash works the pick and roll for his assists.

Probably could have told you that before I saw these stats but still a good find.

Interesting to read, Duiz.

A bit surprised that Deron is THAT low on the 3-point assists. Where do the Jazz rank as a team on 3-pointers? Do we just attempt fewer? Do we just make fewer? Or are other Jazz players getting some of the assists there?

(Also, look at the total assist gap...1-2-3 all within 37 assists, then #4 (Calderon) almost 200 assists behind. That's crazy!)

I remember someone saying in another thread that the Jazz are #29 in the league in 3 pointers attempted per game, so it actually makes sense.

Up to today before the game... Our record is of 385-1013 3pt FG so far for the season.

Compare to nawlings they are 592-1508 3pt FG which is it considerable difference.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/lea ... _2008.html

We are ranked 26th in attempted and made, and rank 5th on 3pt FG%

But our company on made and attempted is pretty sucky, with Sonics, Miami and etc.
