Kevin Durant- Got swept in the 1st round,while also performing poorly vs the Celtics. Also desn't help when the Warriors made it back to the finals this season without him
Trae Young- Looked like a complete scrub vs the Heat. I didn't expect for him to be very efficent,however the shooting splits he had might be some of worse ever for someone for a star level player
Kyrie Irving- Not available for a huge chunk of the season and when he was was,often proved why he is best suited as a 2nd option. Also a poor series vs the Celtics outside of game 1,which lead to the Nets getting swept.
De'Andre Ayton- This could've been the season to show that he could be atleast a all star cailber player. But instead it appears he actually regressed. Add that up with a poor playoff series vs Dallas,there is no reason why the Phoenix should give him a Max at this point. They do need to gain meaningful assets back,so they need to do a sign and trade deal,which I think will happen.
Jaren Jackson Jr- Maybe a very unpopular pick,but he suffered a foul trouble in the playoffs this season and he also regressed on offense. Still has star potential,but the offense have to make improvements and need to keep the fouls down going forward.
Do you watch Ayton and look at his stats.
He actually improved this season. Look at his efficiencies and his scoring spots. He has improved a lot there. Only stat he went down is rebounds but it's mainly because Suns had him defending perimeter more so he doesn't camp under the ring.
Suns won 6 games out of 7 when Ayton got usage rate above 23%. And Suns were much more vulnerable and lost much more games when Ayton got less than 23% usage rate....
