He wasn't getting the ball much in the 2nd half, but he did pass up a couple jumpers as well. He had 1 rebound at halftime, but the team was competitive on the boards at that point in the game. The number I wanted to see prior to the game was 20 shot attempts and he was ultimately not too far from that. Defensively he was owning Vuc in the first half, but Vuc made some adjustments and started shooting more jumpers in the 2nd half.
Ayton’s not doing much to kill his reputation as a soft player.
Unless it’s him selling the team, there’s not much that he can do which would really make a difference.
My guess would be that with all the scouting and advanced statistics teams know the success rate of going at Ayton and design their game plan to exploit it. The numbers put up by opposing centers and drives to the basket certainly seem to support that theory.

What I thought was interesting, was Sarver was willing to listen to an offer! LOL!
That reminds me of the old joke. A man asks a beautiful woman, "Would you sleep with me for $5,000?" The woman says, "$5,000, hmmm, you look like a nice guy. Yeah, I would sleep with you for $5,000."
