APGAssists Per Game

Formula

APG = total assists / games played

Example

A point guard with 64 assists across 10 games: 64 / 10 = 6.4 APG.

Why it matters

APG tells you who creates offense beyond their own scoring. The classic playmaker signature.

In depth

An assist credits the pass that immediately leads to a made basket. In well-scored leagues, point guards average 5–8 APG; secondary playmakers post 3–5. Pair APG with AST/TO to see whether a high-assist player is also turnover-prone.
