"Assists Per Game" is a basketball statistic that measures the average number of assists a player records in each game they play. An assist is credited to a player who passes the ball to a teammate in a way that leads to a score. This metric helps evaluate a player's ability to facilitate scoring opportunities for others on their team. Coaches and analysts often use assists per game to assess a player's playmaking skills and overall contribution to the team's offense. High assist numbers typically indicate a player, like LeBron James or Chris Paul, is effective at creating scoring chances and enhancing team performance.
