Should a player get an assist for passing to a player that is fouled in the act of shooting and proceeds to make all free throws? Their pass led to the potential for points, so I’m having a hard time thinking of an argument against it. Thoughts?

Yeah I mean there would definitely have to be stipulations. True shooting fouls only, and make all free throws.

Maybe just a new stat. Passes that lead to free throws. Would suck for it not to count as an assist or any type of stat just because your teammate misses the free throws. That shouldn’t take away from the quality of your pass.

Yep! You should also get a rebound for catching the ball after a made shot, before the inbound

Some sort of new aged "real assist" stat or some bullshite. I'm sure the NBA nerds can figure it out.

Yeah a new stat is probably the right answer.

I’m okay with this if they tighten up the rules on how regular assist are counted for players and they weren’t given out by the home score keeper

Why not have the NBA go all NHL and give more than one assist on a play.

Player 1 drives and dishes to an open man in the paint (Player 2) and he kicks it out to Player 3, who hits a three.

That’s a Pass to Assist. 2k gives you some VC for that in mycareer mode.

I think all this stuff is probably tracked by nba analytics departments, but they arent commonly used/available stats to the general public.
