I've read that exact same article. It goes on to say that he is third-worst in the league at the percentage of his potential assists that come from long twos, ranking behind only Derrick Rose (who can score) and Kemba Walker (who doesn't have anyone to pass to).
The fact that he still has the highest amount of assists at the rim just shows that he's a volume passer in the same way that Carmelo is a volume scorer.
