What is with your frequent obsession with starting Anderson?!? You keep talking about it. Who hurt you? Do you need treatment for a TBI?
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

More like CTE from constantly banging his head on the table in frustration, like all Suns fans.

Phoenix 2-8
Dallas 3-7

Neither rookie is having any team success this year.

As for individually, Docic is 6th on his team in Win Shares (0.4), Ayton is 1st on his (0.9). Ayton is ahead of him in every important analytical measurement - WS (0.9/0.4), VORP (0.4/0.1), Box P/M (2.1/-0.6) and PER (20.5/15.7).

Trying to say Doncic is a better player at this point is ridiculous.

You just don't like the facts. The 'ugly truth' that UglyTruth speaks!

I wanted Doncic and Ayton. We got Ayton. He’s having a great rookie season and I wouldn’t surprised if he got ROY. Posting Doncic stats after every game Ayton doesn’t have a great game is silly. Booker and Ayton are total studs and they both had sub par games. I’ve watched a lot of basketball in my day and I can say it happens to every player in the league throughout history. They will bounce back.

Those stats you’re talking about are ancient history. Looking at games since the election, Doncic is a guy who gives you 23/6/3/1/0/.562/+11, and Ayton is a guy who gives you 15/13/3/0/0/.353/-14.

I know you're just teasing him, but I feel like lots of folks here pile on SDC. He can like starting Anderson if he wants. If you disagree, disagree, but there's no need to drag him for it.

Fair. I had him on ignore. I thought I'd see what he's contributing these days and saw him pining for Anderson.

I saw a couple "two steps forward, one step back" comments and I just thought, you guys have it backwards.

No, backwards would be "two steps back, one step forward."
"Be Legendary."

Right. So far, we are less competitive than we were last year.

2017-18 through 10 games we were 4-6 and 'only' being outscored by an average of 10.4 ppg. (Even after those 2 losses by over 40 points!)

2018-19 through 10 games we are 2-8 and being outscored by an average of 13.2 ppg.
