2025-2026 NBA Assist Conversion Rate Leaders: Dyson Daniels (4th)
Shamelessly stealing this stat post from the main NBA subreddit, but someone posted a list of the best and worst players in the NBA as far as “assist conversion rate” goes.
This stat compares Potential Assists (PO-AST) to actual AST to find which players passing leads to the highest (or lowest) conversion percentage.
Top 5 leaders in this percentage (per the original post criteria was 25+ MPG, 40+ Games Played, and 8+ PO-AST) :
1T. Austin Reaves : 8.5 PO-AST, 5.5 AST (64.7%)
1T. Jalen Suggs : 8.5 PO-AST, 5.5 AST (64.7%)
Luka Doncic : 13.5 PO-AST, 8.3 AST (61.5%)
Dyson Daniels : 9.6 PO-AST, 5.9 AST (61.0%)
LeBron James : 11.8 PO-AST, 7.2 AST (60.8%)
Hawks own Dyson Daniels, even despite his shooting woes and the defensive adjustments teams regularly made to sag off him on the perimeter ranked 4th with a 61% conversion percentage on almost 10 PO-AST/gm.
Thankfully, none of our Hawks ranked in the bottom 5:
- Devin Booker : 12.3 PO-AST, 6.0 AST (48.8%)
2T. Deni Avdija : 13.4 PO-AST, 6.7 AST (50.0%)
2T. Tre Jones : 10.8 PO-AST, 5.4 AST (50.0%)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander : 13 PO-AST, 6.6 AST (50.8%)
DeMar DeRozan : 8.0 PO-AST, 4.1 AST (51.3%)
I admittedly did not research this statistic myself, or look at lists with adjusted criteria, and given that this list may have been curated specifically to highlight the Lakers players who top the list, I would take any inference made from this information with a grain of salt or two, but I did think it was an interesting stat to point out how much value Dyson can & does bring on the offensive end of the court even during such a down shooting year. His defensive impact obviously needs no introduction.
