His assist ratio and goal ratio have improved significantly.
The turnover-to-assist ratio was a staggering 27 to 4. And Columbia shot only 30.8percentt from the floor.
Similarly, the team's assist ratio (15.7 during this year's playoffs, compared to 13.9 last season), assist-to-turnover ratio (1.70 to 1.19), and assists percentages have all seen increases (statistics courtesy of NBA.com).
Indeed, Ginobili and Parker's increase in assists per 36 is indicative of an offense that finished first in the league in efficiency (108.5 points per 100 possessions), third in assist ratio (17.9), and fourth in assists per game (23.2).
The Knicks were never a high-assist team this season (they ranked 29th in assist ratio), but their offense has become increasingly stagnant in two playoff rounds against the elite defenses of Boston and Indiana.
The Heat also ranked third in assist ratio, which, given that their offense played at a slower pace than most, shows just how deadly Miami's half-court passing was.
Now, the Knicks are depending on a healthy, rejuvenated, engaged Davis to inject life into an offense currently ranked 18th in points scored, 23rd in offensive efficiency, and 25th in assist ratio.
The Nets have had one of the more efficient offenses in the league since P.J. Carlesimo took over as coach, but their ball movement leaves something to be desired; their assist ratio is one of the worst in the league, which means their scoring depends too heavily on stars like Deron Williams and Brook Lopez creating opportunities for themselves.
The Bulls manage to win with an extraordinarily balanced offense — nine of their players average more than seven points a game and their assist ratio (to bring that statistic back one more time) is eighth in the league, which means that, even when their best players are missing, they're still a competitive team.
In fact, Mason Plumlee has the fourth-highest assist ratio in the NBA among qualified players at 21.7, with Nikola Jokic first at 29.2.
