It's not even about Doncic. It's about all the generational talent talk, walking around in a Suns jersey before even picked, the empty promises about turning it on and dominating, Ryan's asinine 1-on-none draft workout praise, the talking heads insisting it just had to be Ayton, blah blah blah. A b...

Relevant article, thinking is consistent with mine. With him performing at a statistically high level already even though he has many lapses, fix a few and all of a sudden you're performing at record breaking levels. I think he's capable of 15 rpg. https://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2023/8/25/238443...

The first game was different because the opposing roster was filled with guys who'd probably defect from their country if given the chance. Evaluating him playing in the Drew League would've been better than that game against Cuba. Quite possible but I saw stuff in that first game that he's never t...

Ayton's positives in the past 2 weeks: He's in great physical shape. He anchored the team defense and controlled the defensive glass for the majority of his time on the court. Ayton's negatives in the past 2 weeks: Minimal ball skill development since the Denver series. Still too easy to force into...

Surely not his best game but I don't care whom you are playing, 21 boards can't be as easily discounted as it has been here. Consistency will continue to be an issue.

Some of this stuff is so corny. The Ayton that played today is the same guy he's been for the past three seasons, and it's not addressing his inconsistent play that's been the biggest critique of his play for his entire career. We've all known he's a borderline all-star when he plays with high effo...

This is what happens when he has a coach who believes in him. Fortunately, he has one on the Suns now, too.

More data supporting the Monty held Ayton back hypotheses IMHO

I saw similar highlights when he was in college. It's encouraging but I'm not going overboard that he made plays against a 29 yr old center from Cuba. The release point on his jumper still looked higher than its been, so that's translating to gameplay which is good. The footwork down the lane still...

There's a nice bit of nasty in these clips, made me think of a Kemp or an Amare with the slimmed down build. Let's see if this carries over.

Encouraging…but it is against a bunch of non-nba level players. Don’t care. Get a full squeeze out of those nuts, show me some aggression regardless of opponent, good highlights He's so much more talented than most NBA players anyway. And if he gets into the habit of dominating against lesser compe...

I hear a lot of people say they have a problem with Harris but they’re usually vague on the reasons. I haven’t read everything she’s said or done but I have no problems with her. But you’re right, I’d vote for a head of lettuce before Trump. I used to give money to her Senate campaigns. San Francis...

On a personal side note, I used to live in a house in the Presidio with some very quirky folks, including a really nice girl who was flying to Tahoe on a personal airplane every weekend with Newsom's people. Her lifestyle and those of these folks didn't really inspire much confidence, TBH.

Dack -- you make reasonable points. I don't think I was very clear about my core argument. It's that he's a party boy who puts his having a good time above the needs of the office and the people. He wasn't a great mayor and is a semi-terrible governor. I don't think that California would be the mess...

DeSantis has been getting pummeled on the right. His quest to be President has seriously fallen flat with the Trump clan. His war on LGBT, Disney and Woke has brought about travel warnings to his state by minorities. He says and does crazy enough stuff that you would think Maga has to take notice. ...

The funny thing is that he SHOULD be getting 15 a game. He's that talented. All he needs to do is to do stuff like box out. Should? Nah. Nobody in the league averaged that last year. Could? Maybe. He's a generational rebounding talent that is grabbing 10+ boards just coasting through without basic ...

If Ayton doesn't average at least 15 rebounds per game this season, he's not living up to his potential and is not a rebounding machine. The funny thing is that he SHOULD be getting 15 a game.

You guys need to stop falling into "maybe this year he puts it together" trap. Same DA that disappeared in the NCAA tourney for UofA. Hes been this since day 1 and this will be his game the day he retires. Yet Booker gets a pass for disappearing in three straight elimination games? The no...
