9 Returning Top Efficient Assist Leaders.

With opening night of the 2022-2023 season closing in I crunched some 2021-2022 season numbers to find the most efficient, returning assist leaders by looking at total assists and ratio of assists-to-turnovers according to MaxPreps. Players were selected using the following criteria: <ol> <li>&nbsp;Played in 20 or more games;</li> <li>&nbsp;Dished out 50 or more assists;</li> <li>&nbsp;Averaged 2.5 assists per game; and</li> <li>&nbsp;Had a assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.4 or greater.</li> </ol> Many players had greater than a 1.4 ratio but averaged under 2.5 assists per game.&nbsp; Others made the assists per game mark but came in just shy of the ratio or did not generate enough assists. <table width="714"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="text-align: center" width="131"><span style="text-decoration:
