2,200th Assist

Dunleavy is a small forward with a specialty for shooting and defense, but he also knows how to pass. He currently has over 2,000 assists (specifically 2,135) and he averages 2.3 assists per game. If he can continue at that average and play his career average 66 games per season, he’ll dish out over 150 assists this year. That would amount to at least 2,285 assists this season, easily hitting the 2,200th assist mark.
