Assist-to-turnover ratio

Assists / game

Each portrait is centered on its exact values. Zoom or search to separate overlapping players.

AST/TO is assists divided by turnovers. Read it alongside assist volume, not instead of it. Zero-turnover players have no finite ratio and are not plotted.

At least 3.0 AST/game and positive turnovers. A better ratio is not necessarily fewer total turnovers. Bands are category-pair guides, not overall player grades or instructions to punt. Tables include players meeting the volume threshold; the chart also shows lower-volume players in gray. Search filters rows; zoom does not change membership.

Efficient assists: 10

Highest volume: Nikola Jokić, Tyrese Haliburton, Davion Mitchell, Tre Jones, Immanuel Quickley.

Middle ground: 57

Highest volume: Trae Young, Cade Cunningham, Josh Giddey, Luka Dončić, LeBron James.

Turnover-heavy: 38

Highest volume: G. Antetokounmpo, Alperen Şengün, Austin Reaves, Deni Avdija, Stephen Curry.

Pool, baseline and limitations

Pool: up to 180 players from the published player universe, ranked by DeepVision’s 9-cat total value for the selected range, with no punts or ADP. Changing ranges recalculates the cohort, baselines and groups. Total value reflects games played or projected; the chart shows per-game stats. Players without ranked stats are omitted, not filled with another range. 180 of 180 ranked players have usable chart stats.

Recent-game windows are each player’s last recorded appearances, not the same dates or minutes. Small samples can move sharply. Group boundaries are reading guides, not roster recommendations or a team win-rate test.

Opening or refreshing reads the latest stored data. These charts are not images, but an already-open page does not automatically poll. Use Refresh data to load a newly published projection release or completed stat sync.
