Meanwhile other team fans are also seeing the great bits Ayton is doing or has done.
Some fans have compared his impact defensively to Gobert and mentioning Ayton as a Gobert with much better offense.
I see Duncan with Robinson athleticism and body.
As great as Doncic is.... The overall better player from the draft will be determined from their playoff contribution. Doncic can average a triple double but if Ayton can help anchor this Suns team onto the playoffs and do damage... Then why be resentful of not having Doncic.

Its up to him, but perhaps we should temper the giddiness till he shows up against real centers. The league is realizing they cant guard him with PFs (Collins, Randall, Theis) This has been a good run for his confidence

But I think maybe people’s ability to read is probably not that great so they see “trade” and “Ayton” in the same sentence and they just sort of run with it and their mind jumps to “that meant trade Ayton at all costs!!”.
Sorry, it’s just funny to see the lack of ability to see nuance from some people. It’s like there’s some sort of short circuiting going on where key points of others peoples posts are just completely ignored in favour of responding with blanket statements.
We’re all loving Aytons play, which is obvious now. My criticisms of his offense (lack of offensive moves) still holds true but he has shown more moves after increasing his aggressiveness and that gives me hope he can get to the point where he’s making his own offense one day. His 1v1 defense is really good and if he improves his help or team defense then he instantly becomes one of the best defenders in the league.
That being said, we will still need another shot creator especially when this team starts making the playoffs, this year or next. So if the FO likes this lineup going forward of Rubio/Booker/Bridges/Saric/Ayton they should be looking for another scorer off the bench to help Oubre with that. If Oubre starts, then we need a scorer off the bench even more badly.
