All Things Ayton

[SunsRIt]

They obviously told him they want to tank and that he shouldn’t try too hard to win.

[Furlanfufi]

He will have all the time in the world to get better at nba2k

Break ups are always hard. It’s going to take some time. But Ayton’s making it a lot easier so I appreciate that.

I don’t think it’s hard…it’s just fun to gloat…I’m excited for the day Deandre plays a game and it’s not mentioned

[Shabazz]

Gonna be hard to hit 25 ppg with one combined 3 and FT every 3 games.

Honestly it’s more about the crazy talk here than anything, if there wasn’t talk about him being a legit #1 or #2 on a winning team and coaches and teammates holding him back and yadda yadda, he’d be a huge afterthought.

[Split T]

There was a massive gulf between what most thought of Ayton and how he was viewed by a few select fans of his. We’ve had years and years of debates about it, so I get that everyone is gonna pop up and gloat when it looks like they are right.


Ayton struggling doesn’t surprise me, but I also don’t need him to struggle to feel good about moving on. It was the right move. And short of him turning into a 25/15 monster who is a perennial DPOY candidate, I’m going to continue to believe it was the right move.

[Flagrant Fowl]

The way his performance is trending, even the people who were upset with the perceived low trade return will also be proven wrong.

[iLLmatic]

On a max contract.

It’s so easy to ignore facts.

He was an actual #2 on the winningest team in franchise history—despite a coach who was holding him back.

If a tree falls in the woods but nobody is there, does it make a sound?

I'd agree that Ayton has spent more of his career so far than most of us would care to reminisce about, playing like actual #2.

[Shabazz]

2nd in scoring does not mean second option.

Common sense should lead someone to realizing he wasn't the second option on that team when he didn't make the All-Star game nor receive a single vote for any season awards.

Edit: He received 1 All-Defensive team vote. My bad.

[Shabazz]

The fact that he was second in scoring despite being the 4th best Sun means that, I don’t know, maybe Monty wasn’t holding him back.

[SunsSince92]

Clearly Chauncey is holding him back now. He'd be the 25/15 monster if Chauncey would just let him play.......

You can't sit there at your introductory press conference, proclaim that you are 'Dominayton', average 8.3 PPG in your first 3 games and expect to be taken seriously in your 6th year in the league. The guy will be a journeyman for the rest of his career.
