Explain this cause it sounds like former player salt :unimpressed:
That's what it definitely sounds like, especially when you consider:

Haliburton - 6.7 minutes time of possession (per 30min); 4.6 seconds per touch; 4.0 dribbles per touch
Fox - 5.7 minutes time of possession (per 30min); 4.6 seconds per touch; 4.2 dribbles per touch.

Unless someone thinks that Fox is one of the most selfish PGs too.

I've got no reason to be salty, it was the same thing while he was here. Pacers are winning games, of which I've watched all of them and most of last season.

He assist hunts and doesn't involve himself in the play otherwise. He'll stand in the corner waiting for the ball back if someone doesn't immediately make the basket off of his pass.

His goal when he got traded was to put up 10 assists a game. When I watch him - which has been every game - I see him make some bonehead plays for the sake of an assist. So he is selfish in a way of stat hunting. Rondo used to get the same criticism, Westbrook too, shamelessly hunting for the assist instead of letting the offense flow.

There were about 3 or 4 instances last night where he had an open lane and passed the ball to a teammate fully covered with help, in favor of a basket that didn't translate. And that's not even concerning the turnovers from stat hunting.

If you judge by the box score he looks amazing, when you see him play you'll understand what I mean.

Tell me more about the advanced stats and not what you've actually watched

:skip:

I'm sure you'll be in here arguing for arguing sake though.
