everyone who gets the ball in the hands of an open teammate for an easy basket is facilitating, some just do it better than others

just like how a blake griffin dunk is the same 2 points as a kobe fadeaway over 3 people, westbrook passing the ball to thabo for an open 3 is the same as kd passing the ball to thabo for an open 3. its just that the act of passing to teammates for open shots happens more frequently for westbrook than it does durant, it also happens more frequently for lebron than it does durant

what determines how good a facilitator is then? purely his assist stat? You've just taken away the complexity of facilitation it seems. not sure where you stand with its impact considering you just marginalized it across the board

westbrook averages more assists, points off assists, passes per game, passes per touch, secondary assists per game (hockey assists) and assist opportunities per game

so not just his pure assist stat, but literally every stat related to passing the basketball

Wade. Also playing less minutes.

not saying hes not passing as well in miami but when he was in a "bad" situation on the cavs he still put up way more assists than KD does currently 

so no, the difference between kd and lebron's assist numbers are not because lebron has a perfect team build around him and kd doesnt

Chandler Parsons just said him not making the USA team was a joke, especially based on how players are currently playing. Also insinuated that him leaving Nike and politics involved with that played a role in him not making the team.

People are blind if they dont think politics don't play a part in things like this. He def. should have been on that squad.

DeAndre Jordan tweeted this earlier:

DeAndre Jordan ‏@deandrejordan 4h
wow, it's actually funny...but eh well, you know how and what it is.

I think its along similar lines to what Parsons is saying. Given the timing, I'm sure DJ was particularly bothered that Drummond got picked over him since Jordan worked the Pistons' front line earlier this week.
 
Congrats Russy, PG24, Dre, DMC, Beal.

Chand's more deserving than Korver (yes, I know he's a sharpshooter but Parsons is no slouch with his outside shooting) and Faired (limited by Shaw's preferences).

Deron is a shell of himself (the Utah days when he was tit for tat with CP3). I like Kawhi's future potential but it's debatable if he's better than Chand right now. Probably defensively but not with deep shooting and other areas on offense.
