  • He’s got such a strange skillset. He likes to play with finesse- jump hooks, middys— But he also can’t handle the ball whatsoever, and he can’t really shoot 3s. So you’re not really playing him on the perimeter.

    But he doesn’t want to use his insane physical gifts to dunk and draw contact, so he can’t be a rim-runner either.

    So you’re left with a gifted center whose finesse in the least efficient/effective ways, and only physical every so often for small stretches depending on whether he took his adderall.





  • Ayton is more *talented*. Hes more *physically gifted*. And thats why its frusterating that hes not goddamned *better* than Nurkic or, in many stretches, the various backup bigs we played during his tenure.

    Do you know how many times I said “Ayton would be unstoppable if he he had the fearless mentality of JaVale McGee? Or Richaun Holmes? Or Jock Londale?” and the list goes on and on and on.

    And yes, backup bigs play fewer minutes and thats why they often play so hard. But still, man.
