What does Avery know? He only played 9 seasons with David Robinson and watched Ayton live once against his team...... must be like Ayton’s coach trying to get Ayton drafted and make himself look good. Wouldn’t trust what he says, because he sounds just like Ayton’s former coach and Jay Williams and Charles Barkley and Jay Bilas...those guys know nothing.
With that said Robinson did have a devastating baseline jumper too. He's my favorite player of all time next to Charles and all my old posters of him have him with that jump pose... Along with his double handed cocked back dunks.
Robinson's biggest advantage over Ayton is shot blocking and steals ability... With a broken back Admiral was still amongst the leagues elite back in 1999 to 2003
And still couldn't win a championship until he got Timmy
Your not picking because of your Biased against big men.
Robinson's talent around him led to Sean Elliot being his best side kick.
And he usually lost to Suns with better talent and The Rockets with Hakeem the dream and his better cast.... And both of those teams best players were BIG men in a sense and better talent.
So again.. Having a small versatile team doesn't mean they will win.
Ayton is as talented as Doncic if not his ceiling is even higher....
Talent wins out at the end... Big or small..
You cannot win with a single source of talent... You need 3 all stars... Always has been since the 80s with the Celtics and Lakers.
