Curious to see what people would guess.

You mean for the season so far?

Spoiler:
No order, but Steph Curry, Rajan Rondo, Russell Westbrook, TJ McDonnell, Ricky Rubio

That would be my guess.

Looks like I got 3/5 (2,3,4)

I'm shocked #1 is playing so well.

I'm beyond shocked at who is #5. That won't last.

Actually you are looking at apg. When you look at total assists, you only got two, and two of the three you thought you got right are not in the top 5 in total assists.

got 4/5 if you're going by assists per game. i know you're not, but it is a more accurate display of the best passers in the league, if you ask me

Rondo
Westbrook
Paul
Ish Smith
Rubio

Is what I'd guess for APG. Dunno about total assists.

Here's a comparison of a Suns player during our SSOL versus the Warriors player. Can you guess who I'm thinking of.
Suns player - 13.3/7/6.2/1/0.7
Warriors player - 12.8/7.9/6.8/1.4/1

Could you imagine if Nash decided to take more shots (like Curry) instead of pass so much? Suns player (above) would have probably got better assist numbers. Or imagine if said Suns player played a little defense...

I agŕee, and the lists are close to the same except for players who have been injured. Ish is in both lists, but was surprised Draymond Green was too. Glad I have him and Westbrook on my fantasy team.

It's gotta be Diaw. He was our Draymond!

I guess for all the fantasy people that scour box scores Ish isn't as surprising as it likely would be for others.
