Case in point in the last minute of that game...Miles took the inbounds pass and never even thought about passing it over to Kyrie. I know, I wouldn't be saying this if he had made the layup, but my point is this guy's mindset is to put up a shot or die trying whenever he gets his hands on the ball. 1 assist in 41 minutes played last night. He has an assist rate of 5.2, which basically means that in 100 of his possessions, he takes 95 shots and gets 5 assists. He posted rates between 10 and 16 for the first seven years of his career, so he certainly has the ability to pass at a basic level, but this year Andre Drummond, JJ Hickson, and Tyson Chandler are among players with higher assist rates. At 9.7, Tristan nearly doubles his assist rate. In part this is just indicative of what a bad team the Cavs are, but Miles could help himself and the team by looking to distribute a little more.
