In conference games, these are the combined averages for Ainge, Balderson, Rose.

Pts: 24.2
Reb: 7.6
A: 7.7
TO: 4.7
3 pt %: 49%

I'd need comparison data, but I'm thinking this kind of guard play is not that bad.

Another look with a comparison point

This is Ainge/Rose/Baldy adjusted to a per 40 minutes stat and compared to MWC averages for starting point and 2 guards for the past few years.

points: 26.8
reb: 8.4
a: 8.5
TO: 5.2
a:TO ratio 1.64
3 point %: 49%

MWC avg

points: 27.4
reb: 8.1
a: 7.6
to: 6.2
a:to ratio 1.23
3 point %: 34%

It would be more interesting comparing to tournament teams or Sweet 16 teams, but I like this comparison. Compared to avg MWC teams they hold their own in scoring, take care of the ball, and are opening up the middle with three point shooting.
