I like Ayton, I think he's an above average Center but would be better suited as a Power Forward. I think we undervalue what he does at times, he's pretty much been money with that short mid range jump shot
That being said - he is also physically soft and mentally fragile. He's never going to mature into a true banger, he'll always be a finesse player. He sorta disappears at times and if you call him out on it too roughly you risk him disappearing completely
I'm just going to come right out and say it. Ayton has all the talent and size in the world - but I fear he could be one rough day/game/conversation away from going full Ben Simmons
Ayton didn't talk to Monty Williams the entire off-season if I remember correctly. Monty has to be so delicate with him, because instead of listening and working on his game DeAndre Ayton simply can't handle the truth or criticism
But again, I believe him to be very serviceable as is. If he stays here he's going to break a lot of Suns records as far as bigs go. You just have to accept him for what he is because that aint changing
