Assists =\= unselfish. He’s not a ball mover. Part of that is that he can’t play off the ball but part of that is that he is somewhat of a ball hog. Last night was an extreme case of this, but he has a tendency to dribble the air out of the ball and dominate the possession.

And I still don't trust his strategy of just run into the opposing player and hope they reach on the gather vs NBA defenders.

Disagree with this. He was one of those ball dominant players in the league as rookie. The ball sticks in his hand it often doesn’t leave until he can get an assist. He is not someone who gets the ball and moves it around quickly.

I don’t consider guys who dominate the ball a ton and rack up assists ball movers. Trae Young led the league in assists by a lot, but I would not call him a ball mover.
