Dragic's dips were extremely small to the point where it's really not even a dip. Davis' improvements were either due to increased minutes and expected improvement from one year to the next at his age. They weren't drastic night and day differences like with Dragic.

I thought Dragic deserved to win, but lets not say his dips were "slight"

35.7 ast% to 28.1 is a huge drop, considering his average is 29.4% as well.

His ast#s went down from 7.4->5.9 while playing 1.5 more minutes. per 36, thats going from 7.9apg to 6.0apg while keeping the same TO#s

His drastic improvement in shooting % 44.3 to 50.5 is a big jump and so is his 3pt% of 31.9 to 40.8.

His usage rate also went up.

He rightfully deserved it, but to act as if the part where he dipped isn't important is being narrow minded.

Assists were really the only thing that dipped a decent bit.

I was talking about the other categories where he went down from like 1.7 steals to 1.4. Or went from 0.4 blocks to 0.3. Those are the dips I'm talking about. I don't even consider those dips.

And personally, I hate assists as a statistic. It depends just as much on other players as the person who passed the ball.

And my point was that the areas he dipped were not crucial. It's not like his FG% went down and he's scoring more due to volume. The areas where he made drastic improvements are some of the most important areas.

And one obvious reason that his assists could be down is due to Eric Bledsoe.
