roco and moussa diabate have more and are averaging 4 ppg
Honestly going back between him and nurk is just a mid off.
I've been calling the dude a bust since early 2022. Salty Suns fans kept downvoting the truth back then. Vindicated.
Broke: Deandre Ayton has attempted only 5 fts through 11 games.
Woke: Opposing players are afraid to foul 100% ft shooter Deandre Ayton.
Whatever-you-do-don’t-hack-DominAyton
Must be why shaq’s always on his case, Deandre’s making him look bad
What does he dominate exactly.
This really is a neato stat of the day
you gotta try REALLY hard to have a worse offensive box +/- than worse-finishing-center Nurkic
DeAndris Biedrins
Too dominating
Players are so afraid to even foul him
I feel like if the average person was given 30 minutes at the 5 on an NBA team they could stumble their way into more than 5 FT’s on 11 games. Like fr, how does this even happen lol
he was exaggerAyton
He hates contact. He’s all about taking baby hooks, floaters, and floaters. He will make an effort to avoid contact by fading away on hooks if it’s coming.
Blazers fans, why isn't he taking more shots in general?
You know what’s funny? They waited until the game after he dropped 22 and 10 on 58% shooting. We were on a second of a back to back. The whole team played like shit. Suns fans need to grow up and get over it.
r/nba despises the foul baiters of the league so naturally you guys should love Ayton right…?
Remember that guy who absolutely disappeared in the NCAA tournament loss to fucking BUFFALO?
Because that's still exactly who he is.
Portland to Ayton:
“Look, we cannot allow you to dominate. That will win us games. We are rebuilding these next few years. Look at the Wizards, they have Poole playing mediocre to increase odds of getting a draft lottery pick. We need to follow the same blueprint.”
Damn we gonna get 5 updates a day about this?
He’s got such a strange skillset. He likes to play with finesse- jump hooks, middys— But he also can’t handle the ball whatsoever, and he can’t really shoot 3s. So you’re not really playing him on the perimeter.
But he doesn’t want to use his insane physical gifts to dunk and draw contact, so he can’t be a rim-runner either.
So you’re left with a gifted center whose finesse in the least efficient/effective ways, and only physical every so often for small stretches depending on whether he took his adderall.
Great analysis… someone needs to get in his ear and wake him up!
Did you just describe Jhalil okafor?
He has a 43.5" vertical, he can outrun 99% of bigs (when he tries), and he covers the perimeter better than anyone his size. You could almost say he has the physical tools to be a Giannis type if he wanted to be.
That's why he made his 2k player a shooting guard
Rich man's Jahlil Okafor
But he doesn’t want to use his insane physical gifts to dunk and draw contact, so he can’t be a rim-runner either.
It’s on purpose. He doesn’t want to shoot FTs.
He has terrible mental fortitude
You can’t be a great player without being able to draw fouls.
Remember when people were confused that the Suns gave Ayton away for a box of cookies? Yeah, it lasted less than a month of the season. He's a skilled player, that is bad, it's hard to explain, but it's just who he is.
Ayton is not close to being a winning player nor he ever will be, the fact that Phoenix chose the corpse of Jusuf Nurkic over him shows that. There's something so wrong with how he approaches the game that despite being gifted, he is such a negative that you'd rather have a washed player over him.
He was defecayton last night but he's actually been pretty good this year despite the lack of scoring
Honestly with a healthy team what he brings is perfect for y'all. Grant, ant, and Sharpe can put up points in bunches. If he rebounds, plays good d, and puts up 15 a night without completely collapsing the paint on offense he's a great fit
Why does this sub have such a weird hate boner for Ayton? Jesus fuck people, find something better to do.
He's got a lot of bounce on the perimeter for a guy his size, and while he doesn't go for blocks, he knows where to be around the rim on D, besides his rookie year he's always been a plus defender
Really seems to be the classic "I've always played basketball because I'm in the top .0000001% for height. Now I'm in the NBA."
Dude…. He has been good this year. You people are being ridiculous.
The Ayton hate from Suns flairs in this sub feels really unnecessary IMO
Chauncys offense is shit and Ayton fades away from any and all contact.
Ayton is a tough player to properly evaluate, the Ayton apologist will tell you he is so much better than Nurkic, but just because he is a little bit better than nurkic, doesn't mean he is living up to being the number 1 overall pick unless you think being the next Clint capela or Jarrett Allen is what you want out of a number 1 overall pick! Ayton isn't a top 5 player in his own draft class if you were going to redo the 2018 draft, and despite Nurkic not doing much in Phoenix most suns fans don't want ayton back. But ayton is a solid player who you can win with, and if he made a little less you would be happy with him as your 4 best player on a good team, if ayton was taken around the 8 to12 pick in the first round of the draft you would be happy with his production.
We don’t need him to be the number one pick. We traded a bunch of garbage for Ayton and got Camara as well. We’re ahead of the game. He’s a net positive for us. We just want a solid center that rebounds, blocks shots, and can score in a pinch.
His shot selection for his skill set is hilarious. Settles for face up middies consistently.
Sad
Well according to me he and James Harden are the only two very weak(mentally) all-star level players, no offense.
you guys think Ayton is athletically gifted because he’s got an aesthetic body. That’s kinda gay but also ignorant cuz clearly he’s uncoordinated and stiff as hell and that doesn’t changeMind boggling.
And y'all thought Ben Simmons has free throws issues...Ayton can make them too!
Before the brigade of pro-freethrow fanatics rolls in saying "free points" and "game decided at the line" and "it's the basics from childhood" well . . . I agree.
Free throws are for chumps who can't power through! YEAAHHH BABYYYY
Ok, ok....Basketball shit aside...I read Domina.
This guy is poo
DominAintHim
He goes up soft basically every time.
