Ayton has very good numbers. Personally, I would like to see him be more impactful, but that's just me. Analytics say he is awesome, so I guess I have nothing to worry about it.
That's how I feel also. His numbers look good but I've yet to see him really make an imprint on a game where he's dominating in a certain area like gobbling up rebounds or going on a block party. I'm willing to give him time though since he's only 20. I just want to see him starting to assert himself more.

What's with the passive/aggressive stuff?

No hidden meaning there. Some sarcasm, but everything else was pretty straight forward.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

Yeah, clearly they don't need him. I'm glad that is settled.

Honestly, I really don't feel like this board has been overrun with Luka-mania. I don't think he has been that big of a topic. Ayton hasn't been that big of a topic either, save for some complaints about his defense, lackadaisical play, or Igor not getting him the ball enough. Probably the most "trending" topic on the board had been the Canaan hate, then probably the Josh Jackson hate, and then the issues with Igor coaching, and overall the lamenting of just how bad this team is.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

I suppose we could wring our hands about JJJ instead...

19/10 when you use his per 36 numbers, which is real close to Ayton. Bagley is blocking more shots. I don’t regret taking Ayton, but bagley is not playing poorly.

Also you could make the Argument that we might play better Basketball than with Ayton. Also, we probably wouldn’t have signed Ariza to play the 4. I think everything that is being discussed regarding the Draft is justified. Ayton wasn’t that obvious as the number one selection as many think. A super Big in 2018 isn’t equal to a super Big in 1994, as good as he may become. I’m still convinced that Ayton will expand his game enough to justify his selection at number one, but this Draft will produce many more very good players.

To be clear, I actually do like the jokes but I was trying to amplify how bad and unenjoyable the Suns are right now especially with Booker out.

Bagley isn't bad, but I'm not impressed. His motor is light years ahead of Ayton's, but that was true in college too.
