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.

I didn't say Vasquez specifically. I said do they all equal out. I'm actually a fan of Vasquez.
I don’t care about points or assists I care about TOs
Everyone is all excited about GVs points and assists lately, but it seems to me that the fact that for the first time in the whole year Vasquez has 3 consecutive games with less than 3 TOs (2, 2 and 1). This is really important if it becomes a trend, as according to Monty, the main thing he wanted Vasquez to improve is the number of TOs.
The question is, has he being lucky, or are his TOs genuinely going to be reduced that much with Gordon in court? It would be interesting to see how many TOs he gets today against Parker and Manu.

Turnover aren't just limited to Vasquez. The team as a whole has been very turnover prone. When you take care of the ball as a team, you'll be in most games.
