Yep. I would also note the other VERY iffy assumption, which is that all Ayton needed was a change of scenery and now he will be great.
IMO the bloom is already.off that rose. WAY off. Of course Ayton could suddenly turn into a player he has never been, but odds are low no matter where he goes. His motor is too low and his self-focus is too pervasive to be seen as a good shot to bloom imo.
