Now, compare Bayless Assists per 36 minutes with some other NBA Point Guards.
2010-11 Numbers
----------------------
Bayless 6.8 Assists per 36 Minutes.
Collison 5.1 Assists per 36 Minutes
Bayless is also a year younger than Collison
http://www.basketball-reference.com/...collida01.html
Over his two plus seasons in the NBA his Assists per 36 Minutes have continued to go up.
08-09------4.4
09-10------4.7
10-11------6.8
Will they continue to go up?
Compare Bayless Assists per Game at Age 22 which he is with Calderon at 24 and Billups at 22
Calderon----7.0
Bayless------6.8 so far in 10-11
Billups-------4.2
Now lets look at Calderon and Billups best in their career year Assists Per 36 Minutes.
Calderon's career best-------9.8
Billups' career best----------8.6
Will Bayless Assists per 36 Minutes continue to go up to 10 or more?
Will Bayless Assists per Game eventually get to 10 or more?
Only time will tell what the facts will be.
People can cut this upside down, inside out, left to right, right to left top to bottom, bottom to top or diagonal and even give it the smell test and seeing eye dog test, but what I presented are the facts.
