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

again, the weird issue is that he's having a career-worst offensive season (btw, it looks like nic claxton's offensive season last year, for folks interested in that). defensively, he's been ok to good (not great, but better than say, vucevic).

the two centers i thought we might get in the offseason were lopez and capela (either/or). they're performing a little worse for a little more money than ayton.

iow, beggars could not be choosers.

my guess is ayton's not got much trade value given his PO combined with a lack of bird rights, so we're just going to have to try to make it work. one thing that's become clear is we need him to play minutes with reaves and hayes to play minutes with doncic. so when reaves gets back, the first sub should be hayes and gabe's replacement (praying) for reaves and ayton, who can come back together when luka sits to start the second.
