at his overall career average of 6.7 assists per game, he’d need about 233 games to move into #\1. his average since his first all star year, 193 games. his average since his first mvp year, 180. so seems practically guaranteed he takes a commanding lead
If Jokic averages 9.3 assists the next 168 games he plays, he’ll be number 1 in half the games it took KAJ.
