All Things Ayton

[virtual9mm]

If Ayton doesn't average at least 15 rebounds per game this season, he's not living up to his potential and is not a rebounding machine.

The funny thing is that he SHOULD be getting 15 a game. He's that talented. All he needs to do is to do stuff like box out.

Should? Nah. Nobody in the league averaged that last year. Could? Maybe.

He's a generational rebounding talent that is grabbing 10+ boards just coasting through without basic skills like boxing out. He should be grabbing 15 boards.

Generational? He doesn’t even know how to box out properly. Also been known to stand out of bounds and just watch.

.. and STILL gets 10 rpg.

That absolute misuse by Monty and you know it. It’s one of the things that still gives me hope about Ayton. I used to complain about that positioning all the time.

Generational talent? Sleep walking under the basket half the time? You didn't just say that...the time I see him AVERAGE 5.5 FTAs for a solid month to start, someone can say something like that...not until. He's bloody 7'/250 and ranks 78th! in the league!!! 78th!!! That's PITIFUL!

Yes, just a few tweaks here and there and an attitude adjustment and he could be leading the league.

Know, I don't know that. I don't think he was instructed to watch while others rebound the ball.

I think you guys are talking about two different things. I believe Superbone is referring to the play on defense (where Jokic kept tipping the ball) in the Nuggets series that went viral. I believe SunsRIt is referring to the offensive side of the floor, where (we can only assume Monty) put DA in an extreme version of the “dunker spot” (out of bounds on the baseline, perhaps even behind the glass at times).

Has there been a more divisive player in Suns history than Ayton?

Has there been a more divisive player in Suns history than Ayton?

Kyrie Irving, when we were talking about acquiring him?

Players that were on the suns roster….

Given history, I’m sure KD could be hated even more by the time he departs here and beat out Ayton if we don’t get a ring.

[Superbone]

Really adds credence to the possibility that Ayton was on PEDs in college and maybe to start his NBA career. He's ripped now but in a much more natural way.

Lmao
Only someone as stupid as Deandre Diuretic Ayton would make this mistake. What a fucking idiot

Really doesn’t add credence to anything of the sort. Unless that’s what you want to see I guess. Makes no sense. It’s one freaking picture of a guy working out in the off-season.

The fact? What fact? Where was this even alleged? When? By whom?

He and his son's mother broke up. He's dating a porn star now. Who cares?

OK. He was just noticeably bigger in college. Just what I see. I could be wrong. He did get suspended for illegal substances though which seems to support it.

Sorry, you're right. I shouldn't have said fact. My bad. I have modified it from fact to possibility.

He was suspended for a diuretic. Taken to mask marijuana use. Which is now legal in the NBA.

OK, that's right. I forgot it was marijuana related. I guess he really likes his ganja. Jury, strike it from the record.
