Suns are intent on feeding Ayton down low. It may pay dividends with getting better looks outside.

Ayton fumbles the sweet Paul pass so he takes too long to shoot leading to a miss

Ayton is so afraid of contact. Everytime he gets into the paint with a good pass he's frightened to get bodied.

100% that was an amazing pass out of the double to Ayton in the paint and it somehow leads to a miss

Can someone just tell me if this thread is going to be nothing but Ayton bashing? Just want to know if it’s worth following or not. Thanks in advance.

Ayton instincts

1. Gets a pick and roll pass in traffic and instantly needs to take a dribble because he's worried about a travel, even though he can literally just take a step and attack the rim.
2. If he gets a lob pass with some defenders he needs to bring the ball all the way to the ground to make sure he doesn't get stripped, even though he's the tallest player out there.
3. If he's near the rim after a good pass and there's a body in front of him he'll pause and then try to drop in a soft shot or immediately pass out.

It depends on how he plays. He also got praise from me

Cam trying to defend everyone at once leads to a foul. Love the effort though

Already feels like we should be blowing this team out.
