Well one aspect of JJ's game is he seems best able to lob the ball to Ayton of all the guys on our roster now. If we try and feed Ayton to open up the perimeter, just having JJ get the ball to him may be the best thing overall. I cannot remember any play where Cannan or Harrison lob it into Ayton for a jam. I am guessing odds are it did happen, but nothing stand out. I can think of as half dozen times JJ lobbed into Ayton for dunks. Also, we are letting the game come to Ayton, and he does a good job of playing in the flow of the game. I'd like to see a little more of what the Lakers did with Shaq. They started their offense with at least one touch by Shaq every time down the floor.

Harrison has definitely done it a couple times, including Ayton's first big play in Summer League. He looks for it. Unfortunately, he is often woefully unsuccessful at it.

Jackson is definitely the best at this skill, though I'm hoping Booker is even better at it.

JJ has a nice connection with Ayton, but those other guys got him the ball too.

Jackson and Booker are both better passers than any of the "Point Guards" currently on the roster.

Dude I've been on this board since 2005 if you can't take a harmless joke then that speaks to you more than me.

Are you serious right now.
Nope. Just trolling you back. Sorry, I didn't think you would take it so seriously.

Looks like the Suns got their PG's option picked up but the lanky euro on the bench better start being a Big Sauce type of cheerleader if he hopes to make us think twice about us picking up his.
