Andrew Bogut’s Assists Per Game

Andrew Bogut has always been a crafty passer for a big man. This is something Dallas has really never had. Hopefully he can open some things up with that passing ability.

Stats like assists aren’t normally monitored for big guys, but they will be for Bogut. His passing is essential to the success of spacing for the Mavericks.

Bogut has to be going in the season knowing this, and he’s displayed some flashy passes in the preseason. Mavs fans have to hope this continues, as he’s looked great.
