Man. You ain’t even know.
That team sat him down and told him to buy in and do all the little things and contribute to winning. They required he sacrifice his touches and in-game development. So he buys in, sacrifices 20% of his overall usage, defends at a damn near elite level, competes to set Suns single season RPG total, shoots well from all over and flashes 65% or better touch at the rim on more than dunks, saves their ass in the playoffs a few times, then asks for Market Value and gets told Nah. Comes back this year, continues to buy in, improves his jumper and flashes hook and baseline jumper from 10-16 foot mid/high post positioning, saves their ass in the first round, then gets scapegoated in Game 7 after Booker and Paul do for Game 6 and 7.
em.
Ayton isn’t perfect and he needs improvement, but he deserves his chance to be great that he never got once Suns got Paul and Paul made him Skilled DeAndre Jordan.
I ain’t even trolling.
Please. Dude’s a good kid and needs what y’all got. Him and Murray gonna own West in 3 years.
