Town's our new PG?

Just happened to look at the ESPN summary of games played showing game high Points, Rebounds and Assists. So far, 17 games played and the game high assists by player:
Russell - 8 times
KAT - 5 times
Edwards - 3 times
JMac - 1 time
I know someone has been writing that KAT is the main guy setting up Rudy - so maybe that's why his assists are so high? KAT career average assists per game is 3.2 but he's averaging 5.3 so far this year.

I was just thinking about KAT's assists. He has clearly unlocked yet another facet of his extraordinarily versatile offensive game. It's exciting to see.

Yep. Another 8 assists last night. For the year now, DLO has 117 assists. Towns has 98. Big man is a passing machine. I hope some of that unselfishness rubs off on Edwards eventually.

I think Edwards will come around. He's actually a really good passer. He just tends to over-dribble too often looking for his own shot. Every team needs a guard who can dominate the ball, but there's a balance. I think most of it with Edwards is just figuring things out - understanding when an opportunity is likely to develop for him with the ball and when it isn't. Over time I think we'll see him move the ball more often and earlier in his dribble as he gains a better understanding of opposing defenses, his own limitations and what his teammates are doing around him.
