But...Indy told me he can't play defense? I'm confused.
agreed. The early numbers in extremely limited minutes are still holding up, which is great to see. He is getting much better about not bringing his arms down. Still happens too much, but getting better. (He needs to learn to do that on offense too)Ring_Wanted wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2020 12:15 pmAyton has been really effective on defense this season. I posted some stats showing how he's keeping players at very low %s. Can't complain at all, especially considering how bad he was last syear, wich reveals tremendous improvement.
I don't disagree with your keeping arms up comment... just wanted to point out that there have been cases this year where DA looks simply gassed. I still think he's rounding into shape and I think that with that he will have more energy to do a lot of things we want him to do... battle for position, block out, arms up, etc. He has been given such an athletic frame, but it a very large one - the energy demands to move it like we want him to must be tremendous.Indy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2020 12:17 pmagreed.

that is fair. But he is literally paid 10 million dollars as a 21 year old to play basketball. He needs to be in good enough shape to do that.phatmike wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2020 12:56 pmI don't disagree with your keeping arms up comment... just wanted to point out that there have been cases this year where DA looks simply gassed.

Tyler Johnson is paid 19.25 million dollars to cheer from the bench and/or come in and provide nothing.Indy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2020 1:03 pmthat is fair.
