Wall has never for a season averaged more than 8.5 apg. He's at 8.6 now, we'll see if it lasts. CP3 has done it every season but one. Nash has done it 9 times. Deron has done it 7 times. You're using a sample size of about 15 games, and you're ranking him not on absolutes, but on league rankings in comparison to other PG's on a sample size where Rajon Rondo, Steve Nash, and Deron Williams, Westbrook and Rose have been injured or recovering from injuries and not their normal selves. Not that Westbrook or Rose are great PG's, but you've got 5 of the better players at that position dealing with injuries over the first 20% of this season.
Edit: I used 8.5 because that's where Wall is at currently this season, the season where you're basing all your data off of, I didn't just pick it arbitrarily
First of all, Wall is at 8.9 APG this season, not 8.5. Basketball reference lags behind. His injury dipped his assist average last year but he's pretty much an 8.4 APG career guy, while playing with one of the worst cast of players you could imagine for the majority of his short career.
He has 19.4 assist opportunities per game, second only to Pauls 22 per game.
Here's the list of guys who averaged over 8.5 APG for their careers: Magic, Stockton, CP, Big O, Isiah, Kevin Johnson, D-Will, Steve Nash, and....that's it.
So basically, your standard for being a true PG is to be a hall of famer. Lol, got it.
The bolded isn't even relevant to the conversation, so I'll dismiss that. I don't know what those guys have to do with Walls play.
