Additionally, he connected on 5-of-12 shots from behind to arc, to shoot 41.6 percent from 3-point range.

Mills needs to boost his assist numbers to be a really quality pg, but chris paul was a bit the same in college he didnt average high assist numbers until he got to the NBA right?

David .... assists are much more difficult to get in college than in the NBA...completely different definitions.

And of course, College Ball is a 40 minute game.

You can get an assist in the NBA just by looking at the cheerleaders the right way..

Like the NBA, they play to their own rules!
There is also no illegal defence and hence some teams employ a zone defence - just like the International game.

Mills has always been shot first as well, but I think if he was in NBA he would probably be averaging closer to 7-9 assists a game
