You do realize some of the best players on the field don't score goals/or getting an assist, right?
Players can make impact plays and show their worth/talent without scoring. Hustle plays like battling for a key loose ball or reaching the end line after a shot.... Setting a pick to free up a shooter.... Causing a turnover to start transition the other way.

I'm not saying politics don't play a role, but scoring isn't the only thing that makes a good player
