#16 for sure! Just please move the ball and share the wealth. And that doesn't mean assist hunting either. Move the ball and make the defense have to keep reacting. It also keeps your teammates involved, and helps develop team chemistry. I really think most people are OK if they have a game where they don't have a lot of stats, as long as they felt like they were part of the team.

Also, touch passing is in fact an actual thing. You don't have to hold onto the ball and treat passing like it's a last resort. Even when you don't have the ball, always be aware of a pass you can make, so that if someone throws you the ball you can quickly touch pass it to a teammate. You'd be amazed how much you can catch some defenses off guard just by moving the ball quickly.
