There have been some great passers who didn't tally huge assists totals due to their position, aka not having the ball in their hands a ton. ALso, there have been some uderrated guys because their team generally shared the ball well.

Rose and Noah were good before they both fell off their respective cliffs.

Malone was a great passer alongside Stockton. Very underrated.

Divac was a great passer, and he played with Magic for a few years.

And when he was on the kings... pretty much that whole team could pass. C Webb was good, so was Bibby. That team shared the ball nicely.

Same with the Parker/Duncan?Manu Spurs. They likely all sacrificed stats to win.

Easy with describing efficient passers as 'great passers'. I do not think of Karl Malone's game and think 'great passer'. We tend to throw around the 'great' designation to liberally these days.  If Karl Malone was a great passer what was Jason Kidd? What was Magic Johnson?

IMO Malone was a great passer for his position. What big man of his era was better, aside from maybe Vlade or Webber?

Malone does not stand out as a big man passer. You know who really stands out as a passing big? Sabonis, now he was a great passer.

Curry, Iguodala, and Draymond.

Parker, Ginobili, Duncan, Diaw. That 14 team was amazing.

I don't think it happens very often.

Well how many "amazing" passers are there in the league at any one time?  If there's only a handful, then they won't end up on the same team too often.

Webber/Divac worked great (but both big men), and you can add Brad Miller to that mix too.

That's my 2
