Via Brad Rowland of Locked On Hawks: "May not be the exact same data that Quin Snyder was using but...

Trae Young is leading the NBA in assists (12.1 per game).

He is also comfortably leading with 20.9 potential assists per game, according to Second Spectrum.

Would be the most for anyone in the last 4 seasons."
