Ayres has been improving, and a lot of that comes because Pop is giving him all the minutes he can handle even when playing poorly. I just don't understand why a guy like Baynes can't get the same treatment
You mean because Splitter always rolls so he and Ayers can't share the floor? There's obv room in the Spurs' offense for a roll-only big, especially with a floor-spreader (Bonner or Diaw, Duncan when his jumper is on) beside him.

I'll give Ayres some credit, he was absolutely terrific in the 3rd quarter tonight, outstanding defense against the best young big man in the league, tbh..
The great play for Ayres has continued. This has been at least 4 straight games where he's looked really good.
I'm loving this nicca right now.
Was only a matter of time, people gave up on this guy way too early.
Can't hate. He shut down Davis in the 3rd quarter.
Pop gon pop ig
Wha-.. what?
I was one of the few users (Actually, I think I was the only user?) Who didn't think Ayres was as bad compared to what some people said. Some people thought Baynes/Bonner were a better option, others thought he would be below-average in the D-League.
But I'm not going to lie, I didn't think he'd ever play THIS solid. Great stuff from Jeff.

He really hasn't looked bad at all as of late. Let's hope this trend continues and Ayres somehow rediscovers his midrange jumper.
I agree, but I also wonder how much better Baynes would be given the same consistent playing time Ayres has had.
Baynes hasn't even gotten half the playing time Ayres has, even though he's been here well more than twice as long.
Im saying it again. Im feeling this Ayers ! I know its the Jazz, but he needs these games to get a better feel of the scheme. Im seeing what the seen in this frog !
Dude is having a dunk party.
The last few games Ayres has been playing pretty well. He seem to understand the spacing and more aggressive on offense and defense. We'll see if he can keep up with this....
I'm starting to really like watching Ayers on the court. I love how he tries to dunk everything, he's like a dunking machine.
He has been awful on defense tonight IMO, but much better offensively. Hands have been good, finished strong and moving to the right spots. I would like the times he screens to be a little more crisp, but good tonight offensively.
To HH's point though, while it's nice to not miss dunks, his value will be hitting a jumper. If he can't do that, his upside is tremendously muted.
How he finishes at the rim. Can you imagine if he could hit the 15ftr somewhat consistently?? He'd be the 1st big off the bench I'd wanna see.
Is he playing good enough to give him a cool nickname yet?
He's got one already: Jeff Errors.
Green Giant
It takes a ty team like the Jazz to make Jeff look like Amare (for a few possessions on offense, forget defense).
