    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.

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