Every Hornets basket has come at the rim since Ayton entered the game.
Then he gets baited into a cheap foul on a three point shot.
Not a great look for the guy complaining about his role.
Show me one quote where he has complained about his role.
He was reportedly talking with coaches and management because he approves of his role coming of the bench. My bad.
Did you actually read the article? That was a horribly worded headline by the garbage that is AZ Central these days.
Team owner – Robert Sarver.
General manager – James Jones.
Head coach – Monty Williams
All three have talked to Deandre Ayton about what they expect from and out of him.
“Monty does a good job of putting up my goals and what I should work on to become a leader,” Ayton said. “Him, Sarver and James, those guys have been with me, guiding me in the right places to really see how it is to be part of a franchise and try to lead it.”
He did not approach management to talk about his role. A totally misleading headline.

Oubre's had a big impact on both ends since coming back into the game halfway thru the 2nd.

I did read it, and I'll accept that its click-baity and very possibly a manufactured story by the writer. I'll retract my earlier statement that he was "complaining".

Much better defense by Ayton on that three.

If the Suns didn't throw the ball around like a greased piglet, they might have a 10-point lead.
Some of the most lackadaisical passing by Phoenix all season.

They're clearly trying to force the ball to Ayton the last few minutes of the second quarter. One problem is that their passes are too easy to read.

What is up with Booker being 1-4 from the field?

What's it going to take for Oubre to draw a foul call? He should've had at least 2, would've had 3 or 4 if his name was Kyle Kuzma.

He needs to drive inside more and draw fouls. The threes can come later ...

Ayton scoring more than a point per minute, but sprained his left ankle.

Good first half by Ayton, same for Oubre. Earth to Booker, we need you.

Here's a question - how much does the Suns' success at Veteran's Memorial Coliseum 30+ years ago make you want to watch the Mercury play there?
Yeah, not so much.

Great first half for Ayton. Love his efficiency. Same for Oubre and Rubio.

Oubre is the player of the game so far.
This is the version of Terry Rozier that scared the hell out of me when the idea of signing him as FA was being debated.
