He's had 5 years to get better.
Dude could just worked on initiating and finishing through contact and could have been a 20 ppg scorer.
But like one time for a month he led the Suns in scoring because they had nobody else, remember?Drewsprocket wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 2:05 pmDude could just worked on initiating and finishing through contact and could have been a 20 ppg scorer.
And had the greatest dunk in suns history, then went into fetal position for 2 years.TOO wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 2:13 pmBut like one time for a month he led the Suns in scoring because they had nobody else, remember?Drewsprocket wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 2:05 pmDude could just worked on initiating and finishing through contact and could have been a 20 ppg scorer.
Exactly. When I heard that... I don't even know how to describe it. I am so done with him. THAT is what he thinks was missing from his game?! Moving on...

Lol, he could be a 20 ppg scorer without changing anything about his game. He was literally an 18 ppg scorer. Just 3 more minutes per game would do it.Drewsprocket wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 2:05 pmDude could just worked on initiating and finishing through contact and could have been a 20 ppg scorer.
OK, 25 ppg and 15 boards per game. Play through contact and boxing out would accomplish both but not our problem anymore.JeremyG wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 3:14 pmLol, he could be a 20 ppg scorer without changing anything about his game.

I think I’m starting to see why Ayton didn’t meet everyone’s (insane) level of expectations…
Now that’s even more insane than expecting 25 & 15. You don’t draft a player #1 overall just for them to be a dirt worker.iLLmatic wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 4:02 pmPersecution complex.JeremyG wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 3:37 pmThat hasn’t been done since 1976, but okay…Superbone wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 3:25 pmOK, 25 ppg and 15 boards per game.

He didn’t want to do what we needed from him. We needed a dirt worker as Fitzsimmons used to call them.
Someone who’s going to bang down low, eat up space, a catalyst for the offense, someone who doesn’t need touches every game to be involved.
Time to move on? Lol, I’m not the one continuing to resurrect this thread every couple days with all this nonsense.iLLmatic wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 4:02 pmWe needed someone who didn’t have a preconceived idea what their role should be. Ayton wanted different things than what this current team needed so it was time to move on for both parties. I’m sorry your favorite player got traded but it’s time to let go and move on like the organization has.
Too bad we drafted a player #1 overall who shouldn’t have been drafted #1 overall. And pathetic that player couldn’t even commit to doing the basics at his position to help us win.JeremyG wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 4:29 pmNow that’s even more insane than expecting 25 & 15.
