It depends on how much you consider passing as important compared to others skills. I think the offensive sistems have outdated the pass first PG. And the argument about Ball bringing a culture with him is stupid. Good coaching does that more than any one player. Heck Brooklyn is developing a culture. And for What is worth passing from a PG od not as valuable as passing from higher positions. A Draymond is more valuable as a passer than Ball. Because his teammates can focus on others skills. Ball neads a scorer. Shooting all around him. Cutting on a high lewel. Ball is so to say more suited as a SG because of the way the basketball is being played. He aint covering any positional inefficiencies in todays basketball. Rather he creates them.
Well Lakers are 6th in team assists this year while they were ranked 24th in the NBA last year. You can't deny Balls pass first mentality has had a significant effect on the team. I agree with you that pass first point guards are overrated in the NBA but I can give credit where credit is due despite Balls horrible shooting numbers.
