If LeBron James averages a triple-double this year, it’s going to be in large part due to Channing Frye being a conduit through which free assists are channeled. 6 of 7 FryeBaskets were assisted by LeBron in this game. If they can even have half that connection during the average game, 10 assists per game for the King With No Ring (excuse the old nickname) is absolutely doable.
That’s a big if, though. The Fryeman isn’t young anymore, and he’s been prone to disappearing for long stretches since even before he left Phoenix. He likely won’t keep shooting 50+% on threes, and he looks so much like Obama that I constantly worry that he’s gonna get assassinated. Can you even “assassinate” a basketball player, or would that just be called a straight-up “murder”? And why does the word “assassinate” have two separate occurrences of “ass”?
