Ayton vs the Pelicans in the playoffs… not a regular season game.
I had forgotten about it, but there’s some post up moves here, there’s a 3, there’s blocks, steals, an assist, there’s jumpshots, turnaround jumpshots, jump hooks. The offensive skill he has is vastly superior to Jakob. He doesn’t need to pass the ball as often as Jakob bc he finishes way more plays. And hes only 23 as of now. I think there’s untapped potential there in the right situation.
Consider how much Jakob improved between ages 23-26 and how bigs continue to develop later than guards. I still see this acquisition as doubtful. But hes skilled and not in his prime yet.
By the way, the shots hes making there are not Deandre Jordan shots, who never fixed his FT shooting btw. This is not just a run and lob C.
