Ok here's my take on Ayton
I've said my bit about how I believe he continues to mature and that has made me pay more attention to his sound bytes. I used to probably just smh before because we all know DA could talk a real good game in the off-season or what's not and drive
Saucy crazy among others
Anyways, just about every quote I've seen of him recently about playing style he speaks about Gobert. I believe that him and his camp sees that as the blueprint and that he truly has embraced the role may it be also Monty showing him his value. Screen assists, rim runs, rolling hard to force the D to rotate and open things up for the shooters even if you might not get the ball. When you do get it finish strong, if not work the glass.
If you listen to a DA post game this season there is usually a Monty quotes and mentioning some of those things. "I'm not concerned about touches, I have my job to do as the anchor on D and I just want to be making winning plays" is the kinda response he gives most of the time and I actually believe him
Last article I saw he said he likes to think of himself as a mix of a little Gobert and a little Adebayo. I know he's proud of his passing and ability to guard smalls re:Bam and as for Rudy he is indeed our anchor but just needs to challenge at the rim more. I don't think it's coincidence that both of them aren't high usage players and guess what they also both got paid. So I just believe DA is fine with his role especially as he sees in those other two that he doesn't need to be "Embiid" to get paid.
Then also if there's one thing that he surely still just a young kid is the business of things. I know he is all for the we are a family, we are brothers, Monty like a father figure and he never had such a relationship with a coach. So that mindset he has things will have to go terribly wrong with the $$ talks for him to want to leave IMO
Maybe all these high character guys Jones bringing in have an old school mentality about their contracts and the team, keeping the band together
Who knows lol but yea that's my take
