mainly mentioned it to help prove my point that despite Arop being the number two ball handler and scoring option, he only averaged a minimal assist total. Therefore proving that he didnt make others better while on the floor.

Smith is going to take on a much bigger role in both scoring and handling the ball. He is now going from a guy who didnt start to the guy who the offense is ran through. If his assist totals stay around manny's then go ahead and kill me. ISUB should take a step back due to Odum being absent, but to think they dont have the talent to stay out of Thursday is far fetched. The front line is as experienced and talented as anyone's and there is unproven talent at the guard spot. The development of that talent will determine their success this season.

What makes you think that Smiths assist numbers will go up?

He will have the offense ran through him this year as apposed to being a complimentary piece. That doesnt necessarily equate to great assist numbers but it will surely be more than Arop's total last year. My point was for having much of the offense ran his way Arop did a poor job of making the team around him better. It was a score, score, score mentality for him. And that would be fine but the numbers say he wasnt overly efficient at putting the ball in the hoop.

And yet, a statistical comparison of the two would say you are incorrect.
