I think “finish through contact” is my favorite part.Deandre Ayton is one of the most exciting young players in the NBA today. Standing at 7'0" and weighing 250 pounds, Ayton's size and athleticism make him a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the court.
Offensively, Ayton is incredibly versatile. He has a smooth shooting stroke from mid-range and has shown flashes of being able to hit from three-point range as well. However, his bread and butter is his ability to dominate in the paint. Ayton is a skilled post player with great footwork and a soft touch around the rim. He has a variety of moves he can go to in the post, including a baby hook, drop step, and turnaround jumper. His size and strength allow him to finish through contact and he's a great rebounder, averaging 10.5 rebounds per game in his young career.
Defensively, Ayton has the tools to be one of the best in the league. He has great lateral quickness for a player his size and can move his feet well on the perimeter. In the paint, he's a strong shot-blocker and alters numerous shots each game. Ayton has the potential to be a defensive anchor for the Phoenix Suns for many years to come.
One area where Ayton could improve is his passing. While he's not a bad passer by any means, he doesn't currently have great court vision and isn't a natural playmaker. However, as he continues to develop and gain experience, this is an area that he could improve in.
Overall, Deandre Ayton is a dynamic young player with an incredibly high ceiling. If he continues to work hard and develop his skills, there's no doubt that he'll become one of the league's premier big men for years to come.
Quite a few that I recall. But if he doesn't get contact on most of his shots, that doesn't take away from the fact that: "His size and strength allow him to finish through contact."Cap wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 8:32 pmHow many this season?JeremyG wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 8:29 pmVery accurate.

I need Josh Green or their draft pick to do that with Dallas. Ayton will be good there for them.Wally_West wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 8:17 amI honestly don’t know Ayton’s trade value at this point.
The Mavs might be our only possible deal at this point.
THJ, Bertrans, McGee for Ayton is probably about as fair as deal you can ask for, Mavs do it because you help them get off their bad contracts and THJ fucking hates Luka so they gotta get him off the team. Mavs new big 3 is Luka, Kyrie and Ayton. Cool, whatever.
Hornets would be an interesting team as well.
Ayton for Hayward and Mark Jones straight up.
Not really sure you can get more that that at this point.
There are lots of good trades out there. I don't know why you guys keep bringing up taking on Dallas' trash. Those trades are freaking brutal. Bertans and McGee might be 2 of the 10 worst contracts in the NBA. THJ is a mediocre player on an inflated salary. Awful and Gross.Wally_West wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 8:17 amI honestly don’t know Ayton’s trade value at this point.

Well good thing none of us can actually make offers. FWIW I’ve always said I’d need Green and/or whoever they take with their pick.
