As Elfrid matures, I expect him to be more of a leader. I thought of one thing this week as to why he is a pro prospect. When he had more talent around him like he did this past summer, he shows he can play with the best. Plenty of times this year he got the ball to open shooters who could not knock them down. Fortunately more were knocked down last night than what was occuring during the recent 3 game losing streak. At the next level, his assist no. will be fine as guys make open threes in the NBA.

Interesting comment on assist numbers.

I agree.
