Will Andrew Nembhard lead the NBA in assists during the 2025–26 NBA season?

“Nembhard is a solid young guard but not typically among the league's top assist leaders. Players like Haliburton, Trae Young, Luka, or Jokic are far more likely to lead the NBA in assists. Very unlikely Nembhard leads.”

“Andrew Nembhard is a talented player, but leading the NBA in assists is highly competitive, typically dominated by established stars. Given his current performance and competition, it's unlikely he will lead in assists this season.”

“Nembhard is a solid guard but not a primary playmaker on his team. Historically, assist leaders are high-usage point guards on teams with offensive systems built around their distribution. He's unlikely to reach the volume needed (typically 10+ assists per game).”
