Stats question. If a defensive player swipes the ball away from an offensive player but another defensive player gets possession of the ball, who gets credit for the steal? My reason for asking is EP does this a lot, but it seems that he is not always credited for the steal even though he was responsible for it.

Yes, in the long term.

 

Right now we're trying to make the playoffs.

 

Right, so if a deal is there that's helps us for long term success we turn that down for short term success or because we want to be able to say 0 trades? I don't get your logic.

I think they call this a 'deflection', which is always mentioned together with EP and Vic as something they are very good at, and not necessarily reflected in the Steal column. You can probably find it among more advance stats where they track them. I believe steal goes go to the person that gets the possession of the ball.

The guy that makes contact with the ball first gets the steal, the one in bold.
