it's not all about the numbers but they are a big factor in determining if a player is a ballhog. his 2.4 apg isn't a fluke. outside of KG, there isn't a big man who scores at least 20ppg that average over 3apg a game.
and considering how he is the #1 option on the offense and his age, zach's doing an admirable job as a passing big man. and if you watch blazers games you'd notice the high-low passes he runs w/wallace or the fact that he's starting to get double teamed when he's in the post and making the right pass.
he's not like amare, where you're not sure if you're going to get the ball back. it did take 2 weeks into the season for him to register an assist.
