Is Monty responsible for some of Vasquez’s TOs?

“One thing I am certain of is that Williams' many different rotations are not making life easy on Greivis Vasquez. After Wednesday's action, the Hornets starting PG was tied for first place in the NBA with 109 turnovers. New Orleans fans have been overly critical of Vasquez for something that I believe is mostly not his fault. How can Vasquez develop any consistency or rhythm on the court when Monty Williams is trying so many different rotations?”
I was somewhat surprised when I read this article as I did not think about it before. The question is: Is it legit to blame Monty’s tendency not to settle on a fixed rotation affecting Vasquez ability to connect with his team mates? I personally think is mainly Vasquez own fault, but I guess, it would not heart for him to play with the same people for a while (by the way today GV climbed up one spot and is now 3rd in APG in the league, and climbed up from 56th to 17th in A/TO ratio

I want gravy, but not as a starter. I wouldn't mind Kyle Lowry or Brandon Jennings

Getting assists is way more difficult when you are on a bad team.
Unless every assists Vasquez dishes out is a lay up or a dunk, the player who takes the shot has to make it in order for it to count as an assist for Vasquez. So yes, it does take two to tangle. Keep in mind Vasquez handles the ball 80 percent of the time so he should really have a good assists rate regardless.
