We are really trying to feed Ayton right now. He’s 1-4 with a turnover and a Craig turnover trying to get it to him on 6 possessions.

Yeah he struggled a bit, but so what? That's how you develop players. It's not going to help his confidence or motivation when he still worked hard to get into good position on the possessions after that and they refused to give it to him two possessions in a row.

I don’t think giving him the ball and letting him take hook shots over smaller players is much in the way of development. If that’s all he’s gonna do and miss the shot anyways, that’s not helping. I’m all for feeding him the ball if he’s making them, but when he’s not you gotta try something else. Now if he’s putting the ball on the floor or bullying these little guys underneath the rim and missing I can live with that. He’s then at least trying to expand his game and learn something.

90% of big men would either get an easy dunk/lay-in or a foul when in the post with Curry on them…How did Ayton end up with a 10 foot hook? It’s indefensible

I'm not going to say Ayton had a strong performance last night. But I do think the team has a problem where Ayton will get inside position and raise his hand, often with a smaller defender switched onto him, and they won't pass him the ball. They should. You guys will probably reply and say that they aren't passing it to him because he would just take a wussy hook shot and he's soft and he has a vagina and whatever other trash talk about him. But you have to give your big man the ball in a position like that. Our guards don't really do that, other than CP3 who's out. Not putting all the blame on the guards; Ayton does make mistakes and poor decisions sometimes when he gets the ball, he isn't aggressive enough, all of that is true. But you have to feed the guy when he has inside position, you just have to.

But when they give it to him and he launches a wussy hook shot using his vagina when he has a 5ft6 player guarding him, it's a wasted possession. You can throw it down to him over and over when he has inside position with his arm up but if he's going to stuff the ball in his vagina and try to launch it out of his vagina softly at the hoop and miss without drawing a foul, it's extremely frustrating.
