If one dude is constantly putting up big assists numbers, especially compared to the rest of the team, that means the ball is in that one guy’s hands way too much. It also means that the ball is in his hands late in the shot clock and he just has to pick someone to throw the damned thing to (sometimes that person scores).
I understand that every now and then a player has a great night passing the ball. I also understand that there are great NBA level point guards that have exceptional speed/handle/court awareness/decision making abilities, but mostly one guy should not be putting up large assist numbers every time he plays. Teams as a whole should be moving the ball more than that.
