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%)

3. Luka Doncic : 13.5 PO-AST, 8.3 AST (61.5%)

4. Dyson Daniels : 9.6 PO-AST, 5.9 AST (61.0%)

5. 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:

1. 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%)

4. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander : 13 PO-AST, 6.6 AST (50.8%)

5. 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.

Kingston looked like he’s got potential and bounced back.

I’m at the SLC Summer League. Aday Mara looks alright. Definitely not worth the 8th pick.

Milwaukee wants to trade Turner for Kuminga.

Pelicans *could want to trade Trey Murphy III for Risacher, Kispert, 2027 1st and another 1st.

It’s only the first game of Summer League, but this should be a fun matchup.

I’m also curious to see how much run Vaasar and Zuby get.

Getting players in this 2026 class would hurt our chances to get players in one of the best Free Agency classes in 2027. It’s why we are just giving short term deals like landale. Not to mention another big factor is we want to develop our young players like dyson, asa, flemings, and risacher so we know what to actually prioritize in the future. This year is big year to develop our rooks, it would massively help us if they develop because it lets us spend more on big time free agents in 2027 while being on cheap deals like flemings, asa, henri, and risacher. if we went all in on 2026 our young players won’t get as much time to develop. I cant wait for the growth we see from our young players.
