Better yet how many points would he have to score the rest of the season to make that happen? I’m betting he’ll miss enough games to excuse this.

Over/under on how many games until he leads the team in scoring for a game?
Has that not happened yet? Even once?
Unless I’ve missed it, no. Not once.

I’m not even talking about for the season. I’m just looking for him to lead the team in scoring in a single game even.

Funny enough there hasn’t been anyone to throw any water on it. Weird.

They’re down right now, but DA will go on a 6-7 game run at some point this season where he reminds everyone of his upside and the White Knights of Aytonistan will feel rejuvenated enough to come back out of their holes so they can blame the other 80% of DA’s season on everyone else.

Umm yeah, in case you don’t remember, we used to actually win basketball games with Ayton.

And yeah I miss having someone on the roster who played with heart and passion and whose energy could carry the team for entire games as Book once said.

Ayton's averaging 13 points despite being one of the only tried and tested "star-caliber" players on the Blazers. I expected him to come out guns blazing and average double that PPG. What else can I say except that he's been a disappointment? Not completely giving up on him but he looks more like Joe Barely Cares than David Robinson.

Of course, the greater disappointment for me has been the way the Suns have played...but there's time for them to figure it out and I expect that they will.

The silly thing is, the Ayton trade is the one major deal I -would- keep. I'd undo the KD trade; I'd undo the Beal trade. Give me my sweet Mikal Bridges and CP3 back. But I'd ship Ayton out again 100%. Nurk and Little have been such a breath of fresh air. I miss 0% of Ayton's bullshit.
