Why JT5_Era earned the Assist Leader award
- Total command: From early-clock hit-aheads to late-clock manipulations, he chose the right pass at the right time.
- System elevator: Maximized shooting gravity from teammates like grewupwatchnkobe and LLSCRIIPTii, and fed bigs like llhezill in tight windows.
- Consistency: A steady drumbeat of high-assist nights across the full slate—no empty possessions, no wasted reads.

Why it matters for the postseason
In best-of series, scouting tightens and windows shrink. A guard who can manipulate coverage—attack weak links, punish help rules, and keep shooters in rhythm—is a postseason superpower. That’s the value JT5_Era brings to Goon Squad every night.
