AD's new Assists

Prior to this month, the most assists Davis ever averaged was 2.1. With yesterday's game concluding the schedule for March, he obliterated last season's personal best with an average of 3.6 assists a game. That's an improvement of over 70%! Five times this month (out of 11 games), he had 5 or more assists in a game. In his prior 179 games, he hit that mark just once!

...New Orleans has a record of 13-6 when the Brow has had 3 or more assists in a game; last season, the team was 12-2. Conversely, when he has put up a doughnut in the category over the course of his career, the Pelicans have a paltry record of 9-32.

...The best part about the increase in the shot attempts? They've largely come from long range. Before March, Davis' passing resulted in 1.8 three-point attempts a game (.6 makes and a 33.7 3FG%). In the 11 games this month, those numbers have jumped to 4.4 three-point attempts, 2.3 makes and a 52.1 3FG%!
