AST/TO stands for Assist-to-turnover ratio, a basketball abbreviation.

Assists divided by turnovers, a common measure of a ball handler's decision-making. A ratio above 3.0 is excellent for a point guard.

Example: His 4.2 AST/TO ratio ranked first among starting point guards.

Usage notes

Tyus Jones and Chris Paul have topped the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio in several seasons. The stat ignores how difficult a player's passes are, so creators with heavy workloads may post lower ratios. Also written A/TO or AST:TO.
