Ayton’s worst game yet?
I think you meant one of his best.
Nope.
Almost at his season high in rebounds in the 3rd quarter.
I think I’d be more impressed if he had more points than Kendrick Nunn instead of having the same amount.

I hope this is satire because he's invisible except for grabbing rebounds that fall right to him and fouling his match up.
I will admit my perspective is probably influenced by the fact that I mute the TV broadcast and listen to Al & Tim, but come on...those were some pretty weak foul calls.

So what does it say about his performance when his second biggest impact on the game has been picking up soft fouls?

If we lose, I’m still blaming Mori for his reverse jinx attempt.

Weird how Anthony Davis immediately looks at the rim whenever he catches the ball. Would be nice if Ayton did that. Maybe he'd be more engaged then.

Suns had a nice run to end the quarter. Time for some dumb turnovers to make it closer than it should be.

Sure. Put together a highlight video of that and it wouldn't be long enough to monetize on YouTube.

Not all big men are great at driving from the top of the key. Shaq gets it.

I’ll just take him making hook shots over 6’4” dudes.

He just had an offensive rebound 4 feet from the rim and didn't even suggest putting up a shot. He immediately passed it to the three point line. (And then hilariously put up his hand for a post up.)

I'm not saying that example is a bad play by him, but it sure as hell illustrates that he doesn't take the opportunities to score like he should.

DWJ being on a 2-way makes the Shamet contract even more insane.
