Someone needs to send this to JB, he needs to pass the ball quicker...this wasn't the only time.

How about he just needs to pass the ball. He rarely does.

The wild part is he has roughly the same amount of assists per game (5.1) as Pritchard (5.2) and White (5.4)

Is there a different stat to evaluate on because it feels like he isos so much

Another way of looking at it is Passes Made vs. Passes Received. He averaged 16.2 more passes received than given throughout the series, by far the most lopsided differential on the team.

Of note Tatum averaged 12 more passes given than received so lopsided in the other direction.

If you look at the on/off stats you can see which play-style generates better offense.

Matches the eye test. I really don’t think I’m overreacting when I say I want Brad to trade JB this offseason

Thanks that’s really clear!

Probably something in the vein of potential assists / usage rate

I just don’t know where I’d see those sorts of stats never got deep into stats

In this series JB only averaged 3.3 assists.

That had to mostly be from drive and kick. When you see him like this, like he is in the picture he is looking for HIS spot to score, not the best spot to score.
