So, if defensive stats are not the most important stats for Tyler Herro next season, then what is? That would be his turnover numbers and more specifically, his assist-to-turnover ratio.

Last season, Herro averaged four assists and 2.6 turnovers per game, resulting in an assist-to-turnover ratio of about 1.54. From those stats, you can clearly see that the 2.6 turnovers per game were quite a bit.

To put things into perspective, Russell Westbrook had a better assist-to-turnover ratio last season than Herro. What, exactly, does that mean though?
