Kendall Marshall and the Assists Leader from Every D-1 Conference

Ask any coach. It's great to have someone on your team that is skilled at setting other players up to score.

You don't have to be Bob Cousy, Magic Johnson or John Stockton to get the ball to your teammates so that they can put it in the hole.

You do need to, however, be able to see the court and effectively deliver the ball.
