Did you know.

Ayton’s increased motor has led to him leading the league in offensive rebounds amassing 5.9 per game.
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

Ayton is probably going to finish pretty close to 18/12/2 and shooting 60% from the field. Based on current national media trends though, Luka will runaway with the ROY.

Our recent wins have DA starting to run way with the WS lead among rookies. He’s at 3.8. Luka is tied for second place with JJJ at 2.4.

Not even close to leading the league: http://bkref.com/tiny/PlrRA

He’s at 3.2 on the season.

He has averaged 5.9 over the last eight games, which would lead the league if it were his season average.

I hope analytic twitter gets involved for a late Ayton push.
Go Suns!

Thanks folks. Just have to take a lot of meds that leaves my head all foggy so hard to do cognitive tasks in general.

maybe it will be as the season goes on or as a focus over the summer but when Mikal is consistently putting the ball on the floor I'm going to be really excite. I saw someone on Twitter mention Middleton which I found rather interesting , comparing skillset and efficiency

Is it just me, or is it more significant that Kawhi Leonard only averaged 7.9 ppg as a rookie?
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

Ya comparing to Kawhi probably isn’t the best idea. Kawhi made some huge jumps in his development. Also, I’d guess he didn’t play a ton of minutes as a rookie jumping into a championship level squad.

Thanks Cap! Saw that stat on Twitter. Would have been nice if the Tweeter mentioned it being a sample size.

Alan Williams was let go by the Nets to sign a deal in China. I would've liked to have seen him back for some depth behind Ayton and Holmes.
