They're pressed to get it done for themselves more so than Dame.
Then, squeeze them.

Re: All Things Ayton

I am finding it unbelievable that some of the folks who were most vocal about Ayton as a defensive liability on the perimeter are ok with Nurkic. From what I have seen and what Blazers fans are saying, he's pretty much unplayable in the playoffs because it would be too easy to have guards isolate o...

If the Suns trade Ayton, it had better make the team better.

Re: All Things Ayton

Defend and rebound like a madman, score on putbacks, in an ideal world he would be an 18-18 guy or something ridiculous like this. More like a Bill Russell than anything else. The Suns don't have any other rebounders. But this is an admittedly far fetched scenario. But Ayton as a 15-15 DPOY candidat...

SGA > Bridges but not by much. It's Halliburton that is the one that got away.

Re: USA Basketball

It's not hypocritical if JJJ and Ayton are doing very different things on the defensive end. That's why I asked if you watched the game. It's not like JJJ is playing in a drop every possession and watching the ball bounce all around him. In fact, it's the exact opposite of that role and outcome. St...

Re: USA Basketball

OK, so you're just box score watching and trusting a random on twitter, but that's good enough because of the "level"? If you're going to come in posting some snarky takes without context then you're just trolling. Just annoyed, really. All sorts of double standards being thrown around an...

Is that bad?
Well, at least he wasn't collecting "empty stats."
That's one way to beat a narrative.
Oh, but his rebounding doesn't matter because he plays incredible defense.

JJJ is better than Ayton, and Ayton isn't in the same universe as Embiid in the post.
JJJ rebounds like a small forward.

Highly unlikely RHJ gets signed. OK, maybe a random 10-day.

Re: All Things Ayton

It's not even about Doncic. It's about all the generational talent talk, walking around in a Suns jersey before even picked, the empty promises about turning it on and dominating, Ryan's asinine 1-on-none draft workout praise, the talking heads insisting it just had to be Ayton, blah blah blah.

Re: All Things Ayton

Relevant article, thinking is consistent with mine. With him performing at a statistically high level already even though he has many lapses, fix a few and all of a sudden you're performing at record breaking levels. I think he's capable of 15 rpg. https://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2023/8/25/238443...

Re: All Things Ayton

The first game was different because the opposing roster was filled with guys who'd probably defect from their country if given the chance. Evaluating him playing in the Drew League would've been better than that game against Cuba. Quite possible but I saw stuff in that first game that he's never t...
