Because BI sets up other people for open threes, but nobody sets up BI for open threes. He’s not Steph or Dame, he needs someone to draw a crowd and pass him the ball when he’s open for three. Zion is the only one who can but he’s not a guard, and CJ is somehow third in assists when he should be leading the team. Remember, BI leads the team in assists. He’s essentially our point guard while also our best scoring guard. If we had a legit PG, not a shooting guard playing PG, I’m willing to bet he’d get more threes.

BI averages 1.2 more assists per game than CJ but BI averages 3.9 3s per game and CJ 8.0. That does not explain the difference based on your reasoning. 1 assist but over 4 less 3s per game?

CJ is an off ball guard we're using as a catch and shoot player because that is his best role, and he has lower usage than both Zion and BI, why would he have more assists than our 2 lead facilitators?

He also does nothing off ball to help himself. He just stands there. He should be moving off ball and finding the open space
