The announcers and posts need to not call this "flopping". Dort is really strong, and he almost ran into the stanchion off contact above the free throw line. That is exaggerated movement.

It is a STEM call. Secondary, Theatrical and Exaggerated Movements to minimal contact.

it’s unlikely that Toumani ends up a better player

It is impossible. Toumani could not do in college what Ayton has already done in the NBA.

Is this more of an indictment on Ayton or simply high praise for Camara?

This is more of an indictment of Tim MacMahon. If someone says it to you out loud as a reporter, you should nod and make a mental note that the speaker is an idiot.

Even if you believe Camara can become a rotation player, he will not become anything close to what was Ayton as a rookie.

He also improved every year he was in college

He did not though. He had worse stats at Dayton as a junior than he did as a sophomore at Georgia.

This feels like something that was said once by a certified idiot and way more people repeat it like it was a widely held belief.
