The Surprising Strategy Behind Alyssa Thomas’s Record-Breaking WNBA Journey
When one player supplies nearly half of a team’s assists, it could leave that player’s own offensive output vulnerable for a drop. That isn’t the case with Thomas in 2025.
Doing It (Almost) Herself
While all of her assist numbers are peaking in 2025, the percentage of baskets she’s being assisted on is at a career low. Thomas is only being assisted on 49% of her field goals. Prior to this season, that number hadn’t been under 58% since 2017.
Again, this makes sense when you look at the team’s makeup; Thomas does so much of the setup herself that her own offensive output hinges more on self-creation.
