In my opinion (humble as it is), this would be an assist. Had the forward needed to "shake & bake" or create the scoring chance on his own after receiving the pass, then maybe not.
It would be the same as the point guard leading a 3 on 1 upcourt, throwing a nice bounce pass to A2 at the free throw line, who then takes 1 or 2 dribbles and lays it in. To me, that is an assist....
