The game that scores the most points usually wins, right? Well, you add up the points a PG scores plus the points that are scored thru his assists and that should give you a clear idea of who is more effective. If a PG scores 20 points and has 15 assists, that would sum up around 20 + 30 points not counting how many points on the assists are 3 pointers. I dont know if you get an assist if the recipient of the pass is fouled and either scores 2 foul, on 1 foul or misses both. You would have to consider the total output of each PG to determine who is most effective. Assists are extremely important. of course, but scoring points anyway you can is the best. A study would have to be made of which PG today causes the most points to be scored by his team by summing up his points and the points he causes his team to score. I also grant that getting teammate involved is extremely important; that does not mean that a team should lose because a good shooting PG rather pass the ball all the time when he could have won a game with some scoring which he could have done but preferred to pass it away. The PG has to be intelligent enough to know which option is best at every particular time of the game. Thats the measure of the best PG, in my opinion.
