Tough poll option. Had to carefully consider both options.

Is the question "Do the Phoenix Suns want to get back door swept?"

Every defensive possession he was on the floor, the Bucks attacked him. Weather is was getting him on the pick and roll, throwing the ball down to Lopez or Giannis on the block, or getting into the paint and finishing, you could tell that the Bucks just had a totally different game plan offensively when he was on the floor compared to when Ayton was in there.

Saric has plenty of limitations, but he's scrappy and much quicker on his feet than Kaminsky is. He has his matchups that he's useful in, but this isn't the one, and every minute that he plays, the Bucks should definitely be attacking the rim and looking to get him on the perimeter for mismatches.

What theyll do to adjust for the minutes that Ayton isn't on the floor is probably the biggest adjustment they'll have to make this series.

People who voted 'bottom no' instead of 'top no' obviously have their heads up their asses.

Kaminsky going for maybe 25 to 30pts 12reb 6ast back the other way seems like by far the Suns best bet to counter.

Only 25-30 points, why not more?

If the question is which NBA player would I least want on my side in an alley brawl? Then yes, he’s the answer.

They should trade Book and CP3 for Tom Brady and Connor McDavid, have Frank as a starter and first scoring option

Frank Kaminsky is the answer.

If the question was "what is the only way the Suns can lose this series?"

They really shouldn’t play him. I just don’t know what alternatives they have if Ayton gets in foul trouble
