Magette is climbing the D-League leader board in all-time assists, and more takeaways from the D-Fenders’ week.

In his third season in the NBA D-League (and third with the Los Angeles D-Fenders), Josh Magette has displayed veteran leadership as well as his own developing skills. Magette leads the league in assists with 9.8 per game, while also helping shepherd the D-Fenders to the best record in the league at 19-5.

Magette consistently collapses defenses and runs the pick-and-roll to perfection to set up his teammates for wide-open shots, and his 14.7 points per game show he’s become more than just a distributor, but his court awareness and vision are what stand out most.
