I am not sure you can find the right kind of PF to play alongsise Ayton. Brook Lopez, on the other hand, would be a terrific partner for our guy.
Have Lopez play C on defense with Ayton guarding stretch PFs and swithching. Also watch him block out people for rebounds. On offense the Splash Mountain provides space (and some surprising drives to the basket) while Ayton does his thing.
JJJ would be perfect...Jonathan Isaac would be very nice. Myles Turner would be good.
Of course, but they are not attainable, in my opinion. Isaac is maybe a little too much of a SF, though. ORL has Bamba too, but he was a baby this season (Mitchell was a grown ass man btw). If lotto is shit I might gamble with Bol Bol and see if/when he comes back he can impact the game.
Scarcity of the right fit at PF is what has me thinking about making Ayton a PF (on defense) and bringing in some rock who can shoot and rebound to complement him. Lopez, Theis...
Guys like Aminu, Marvin, etc. can play team defense and make a three, but are too weak to rebound consistently, which is also a problem. Of course, if nothing better is available, you still have a complete roster.
Randle is talented but I don't think he helps with any of our glaring needs. Again, much better than nothing.
Jamaychal Green might be a nice option. Ed Davis at backup center would improve things a lot I just know it. Or give me Dedmon already dammit.
