re: Eric Gordon and the Kobe Assist

I agree with the idea that it may very well be the norm, This was my main ding on the post (good post). ATL's point is right... norm or not, Gordon can do better for himself and the team by doing X, at least a little more; the analysis gets dicey if you go whole hog into driving.

It's intensive to get the data, so 15-20 guards (a fair wish), fewer is actually plausible. I think I'd like to bracket him with other kinds of guards in terms of this analysis, taking into account Jester's comment, for example.

Got names?

Also, that term came from Grantland, I believe.
