4,000th Assist

As a point guard, it makes sense that Williams is nearing a milestone in assists. As of right now, he has 3,990 assists, so with just 10 more, it’s basically a given that he’ll hit his 4,000th assist. But he can get even more than that, given he averages 4.9 assists per game over his 13 seasons in the NBA. If he can get that 4.9 number over a career average of 63 games, Williams can get 308 assists this year. That would land him at 4,298 assists, so perhaps we’ll see him reach an even hire mark than 4,000.
