The break even point with assist% is actually 64, but ever since the State Farm nonsense was eliminated most people are fine with their assist% being somewhere in the 50s and focusing on fewer turnovers as opposed to more assists.

Before the passing was updated, the common belief was that the floor was 50%. The floor was actually 60%. The penalty for being in the 50s was not huge.

If you got down into the 40s the penalty was pretty bad.

This is why the Ai has this in the knowledge base: Note on cumulative assist%- If you have under 60 cumulative assist% you will have a penalty to team eFG% but if you run uptempo you will see a bump to team eFG% that usually cancels out the minor penalty for being under 60 cumulative assist% (about 5% either direction). However, if the cumulative assist% is under 50%, the penalty becomes too great to overcome with just an up tempo offense.
