Goddamn, every single one of those passes was perfectly in stride, perfectly on target. IMO people don’t separate court vision enough from the actual passing ability (angles, timing, accuracy, speed, variety, etc.). Very few of these passes required anything special in terms of BBIQ, but all of them were easier shots because the shooter barely had to adjust to them.

For example, peak Westbrook had good but not great court vision, but mediocre actual passing ability- he just created such big openings with his raw aggression and athleticism. A guy like D’Angelo Russell has similarly mediocre court vision, but doesn’t have the same ability to create an advantage- instead, he manages by delivering his passes through very, very tiny windows because his actually passing ability is very good. Then you have guys like Jokic and Harden- they’re seeing passes 3 steps before they happen, and they consistently deliver the ball perfectly on time and on target through tiny openings in the defense.
