I honestly think Ayton just doesn’t know how to play the way we’re playing right now. He’s used to pick and roll with CP3. He looked lost, he’s not a dunker spot guy. I think his actions after being pulled are because he’s pissed at himself.
That’s offense at least. The defense I don’t understand. No excuse there.
It doesn’t take knowing how to play in a set offense to bust your ass and try to get something done. Even five guys in a pick up game can bust their ass and beat somebody. Enough is enough, he’s a freaking clown.
Warning: JeremyG, you might get excited watching this clip. Jock Landale defends DA.
See my comment in the other thread. Instantly Jeremy's second favorite player on the Suns.

Wow, the ESPN guys, specifically Stephen A Smith eviscerated Ayton on this morning’s pregame show.

What does “great locker room guy” mean? Is it the guy who says, “Grab ‘em by the pussy”? Or is it the guy who punches the guy who says, “Grab ‘em by the pussy”?

He's playing against grown men who actually love doing it, not college kids, most of which are doing something else now. Nothing in that video was impressive.

That was also a guy playing for his first NBA contract. Then he became a guy playing for his second NBA contract. Now that he has generational money, what is he playing for?
How can someone UNLEARN how to dribble to the basket and dunk?
The speed the game is played and the strength of the players around you goes great lengths on how you play as well, playing versus your boys on the backyard allows you a lot more that going to the local gym and being just average. Bo Outlaw used to be unstoppable on summer games.
No wonder Ayton struggles a lot against players bigger than him, or with quicker hands (this latter, it’s just about everyone)

So you’re saying he learned he can’t do it any more against NBA competition and stopped trying?
