Last year, James Harden singlehandedly ran the offense of the Houston Rockets. He destroyed his career high in assists on his way to an overall incredible season.
Harden’s previous career high in assists was 7.5, but last season he upped it to 11.2 last season while playing the point guard position. Chris Paul, on the other hand, had another stellar season in which he averaged 9.2 assists per game, slightly below his career average of 9.9. With both players in Houston now, will their passing numbers take a hit?
Predictions for assists numbers
In the D’Antoni offense that emphasizes passing and ball movement, both Harden and Paul should be able to average a decent amount of assists.
