JV also played 2096 minutes last year according to BBRef, so perhaps your site has incorrect data?

I think the system we played is much more at play than you are admitting. Is JV a passer? No, certainly not. But this whole "historically bad" business is misleading on two fronts; 1 - historically bad usually means so bad that is lines up with the worst of all-time, but JV was really in the low end of "normal" range for centers; 2 - our team didn't have much in terms of assists, so isolating a single player (especially a big) without providing the rest of the team as comparisons is off.
The team, as a whole, ranks 9th worst in Assists per game at 20.7 (lowest in league was 19.8). JV contributes 2.4% of the team output. Other end of the spectrum, GSW was best with 27.4 APG, and Bogut contributed 9.8%. 10th best (Cleveland), Mozgov is 3.6%. Miami was last, and Whiteside is 0.5%.
The lowest non-bigs (PF/C) on the list of players starts at 2.1 Assists per 100 team possessions (35th from bottom of list) - right at 2.1 is Terrence Ross.
Lower than JV on every one of these measures (per game, totals, per possessions, %) is Tyler Hansbrough.
