    Ayton channeled his inner Capela.

    Ayton is such a quandary.
    Everyone is mentioning touches but he was getting the same type fo shots at the beginning of the year and he was also killing it then

    I guess the big difference is teams aren't giving him the foul line pick and and pop shot that he was automatic from anymore? Defenses adjusted and then he started missing a bunch of layups when he looked like he wanted to be waived. Still feel like he might have been hurt but out of his own mouth he said he was upset with how he was being used??

    This is frankly the season I was expecting from him thankfully the pouty part seems to be over and the Lakers have an above average NBA center on the cheap again

    Yeah, I still have doubt but I tip my hat to him for his play during this stretch. If he keeps this up then we are in a great position heading to the playoffs.
