I totally agree with polo that this is a bad/bizarre example.
That said, A/TO is totally screwed up in HD, to the point that I basically don't pay any attention to it and haven't for awhile.
The makers of the current engine were under the impression that you can't score and rack up assists. In real life, most of the top assist guys are also good scorers. Look at the NBA assist leaders:
Chris Paul, 20 ppg; Steve Nash, 18 ppg; Deron Williams, 18 ppg; Rondo, 14 ppg; Kidd, 9 ppg; LeBron, 30 ppg; Baron Davis, 16 ppg; Westbrook, 16 ppg; DWade, 26 ppg. They're all scorers except for Kidd.
Big Ten: McCamey, 16 ppg; Turner, 19 ppg; Nolan, 7 ppg; Thompson, 13 ppg; Harris, 18 ppg. Again, it's almost all guys who score and rack up assists.
Assists and A/TO in HD are screwed up, but there are hundreds of much better examples than the one above.
