Hassan Diarra is averaging 9 assists per game over his last 5 games

I’m 74. Didn’t know its meaning until a couple of days ago after seeing it in a different thread and looking it up. Figured I’d help out a fellow Boneyarder. Especially one who used the line “What U talkin bout Willis.” Not many young uns will get that reference.

Needs the visual for the youngins.

Diarra is a good player, but UConn has an offense that pads assist stats. Marcus Williams may have averaged 12 a game in this offense.

I am amazed that anyone still runs traditional dribble-drive breakdown offenses. They are hopelessly inefficient in the modern era. Looking at you, Rutgers.

That's probably true, but those good assist numbers relflect his ability to run that type of offense. That along with his low TO ratio, defense, pace, motor/tenacity, and general experience is what makes him the best PG for us.
