If Ayton doesn't get it now, I think we can put a wrap on him. I am pretty sure he will shoot a high percentage and rebound. The key for him is all the other non counting stuff. I feel even in Portland he would put up good scoring and rebound stats but you hardly noticed him on the court. Can he do the non sexy stuff well and do it every night? That will be key.
Isn’t a team around Doncic, 40-year old LeBron and Ayton bound to be catastrophic on defense? I‘m not sure how you can compensate those subpar defenders, especially with DFS gone and replaced by an offense first guy.
