Deandre Ayton Discussion: This Is A Platform I Can't Run From

now just imagine if he were playing for PAT RILEY'S MIAMI HEAT--WHERE THEY BATHE IN CHAMPIONSHIP WATER EACH MORNING AT 5AM.

 

Ayton strikes me as a little Dwight-ish. Odd personality that can really clash with certain other types of personalities, like Ayton did with CP3 and Kobe did with Dwight. Had the CP3 trade gone through I imagine he and Kobe would have really bonded in their joint frustration with Dwight lol. But it seems like JJ/Luka/Austin/LeBron are getting along fine with Ayton, so its a non-issue.

 

20 and 13 on 10/11 shooting from the field. Some of those shots he made had a high degree of difficulty while being guarded by Mark Williams. Just such a key player for this team.

 

Deandre has been incredible with how high a % he hits from inside the key, away from the rim. Seems like he’s hitting 70-80% in there for the entire season.

 

sitting vs. utah with elbow soreness

 

I'd rather he doesn't sit? Why is he sitting after 3 days of rest?

 

take it easy on the rims big fella



71% FG% Duuuuuuuuude!

 

no details on it, just left elbow soreness. strange. with kessler out, utah doesn't really play big. filipowski is the only center they've been playing, i think, so i guess the plan is to try to beat them at their game. iffy. they can score. we can't defend. though maybe vando getting the backup c minutes will be a boon on that end.

 

And probably over half of that 71% is from short mid range. The guy's touch is incredible.
