This is 100% correct.

Ayo is completely overrated over there .

Well, the vote is staggeringly one-sided on the general board too, 92% disagree with you.
And that's not a typo, over 9/10 of people disagree with your viewpoint currently.

Not gonna coach or even put much context

The numbers speak for themselves dude , I don’t have to create a narrative .

Honestly, you really need to do something when going against the grain so wholeheartedly. Some in-depth analysis on some aspects, characteristics, something...

Most of the Bulls board know he has some flaws and room for improvement, but what he's done this season has been impressive especially when you take where he was drafted into context.

So Ayo is now solely responsible for the Bulls record now?
Screw the actual all-stars on the team, they ride and die by Ayo now.

I'll take the better defender, who shoots more efficient, on the cheaper deal... Is this even a question? lol

Ayo?

Coby White is not good. He is solid on offense but a horrible defender.

Ayo is probably below average on both sides but not a liability on either, so that makes him more impactful even though he is a rookie.

And it's only up from here for him here.

Even though they are the same age, Ayo has a higher ceiling due to superior understanding of the game of basketball.

To be fair, Coby defense is showing signs of improvement. Obviously it helps being coached by coach Caruso.

Wat are you talking about ? Lol I flamed those dudes so hard with that graphic that I had to be warned . That’s why I’m here to discuss it. This poll is a just a side discussion.

Ok , the GB has been wrong before . Congrats . It was said Boston asked for cobe not ayo. Then it snow balled to my belief that MOST teams would prefer cobe. You know the actual established nba player with a body of work . Not a guy who every nba team passed on and said no thank you .

The main point is that on the bulls board he is so overrated , and even you yourself can’t admit that the he was ass garbage in most of the games he started . It’s complete denial but you guys act like basketball savants when you dismiss objective facts .

Btw look at these write ups for a 2nd round rookie who I cringe running the teams offense .

Would any other contending team be ok with this ? Is there 1 other contending team that has this lower tiered of a prospect playing starting pointguard for them ? Show me an example please ! Then tell me I’m wrong for calling out this ass garbage play vs. 500 teams but bulls fans think he deserves a parade .
Am guessing most most you guys didn’t see him throw the game away vs the raptors ? A series of mistake that could have easily been predicted considering his body of work and how I’ve already been discussing it.

He isn’t . he is better defensively but doesn’t help the bulls offense or defense. Actually bogs it down and vs better teams have worse offense than their counterparts while starting a defensive player that doesn’t help .it’s stupidity .
The same stupidity on the bulls board and dumbnovan that thought starting satoranski was better than Cobe while tanking their season .

Bulls fans still wont take credit for that gaffe . They be quiet until it comes to the board boy toys like this kid who gets most of the bandwidth after Zach and Demar go for 25+ or Vuc for 15 and 15 but we gotta hear about this below average player .

That’s the bottom line . Statistically this kid is below average ! Cobe apparently is too. Still that doesn’t give this kid the free pass . So while all you guys do your victory lap remember he is BELOw AVERAGE. The bulls can start zack fn LaVine at pointguard . Who tf needs ayo ?

Their on/off numbers are basically the same.

EPM:
Ayo -2.0
Coby -3.2

Raptor:
Ayo -2.1
Coby -3.0

Lebron:
Ayo -1.19
Coby -1.90

BPM:
Ayo -1.7
Coby -2.5


He is below average,yes but that doesn't change the fact that Ayo as a rookie is better, more talented and more impactful than Coby White as a 3rd year player. You might not like that but it's the truth.

This doesn’t help your argument.

Coby White’s role is to be a scorer as in a SG.

Ayo’s role is to be the PG and main facilitator AND defend the other teams best wing player.

But I guess points PER 36 minutes is the crutch to lean on.

Scoring per 36 etc. doesn't measure the real impact of a basketball player on winning. Coby White is very close to being the worst non rookie defender in the entire NBA. There is no true indication he is better than a 2nd round rookie half way through his rookie season and impacts winning in a positive way.

I hope the Chicago front office agrees with you though and sends Ayo to Toronto or lets us sign him to an offersheet you won't match next year. That would be great.

Here are the objective facts:
In games he has started, 11.4p 6.8a 3.8r 1.2s 1.6to 54.7%fg 41.8%3p

For a starting NBA PG, that's pretty mediocre. Nice efficiency, relatively low volume.

"ass garbage" would be a delusional way of putting it though and really doesn't come into the realm of "objective facts".

Certainly comparable to Lonzo Ball’s career numbers, and this year. For a rookie I wouldn’t want to call the numbers mediocre though. Rookie and all.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I think Ayo is fantastic. Let's not forget that one of his starts was when he played an entire game with a concussion and went 1-7. In the long term, I think Ayo is the better option to start over Ball. I'm just trying to be "objective" and lay out the actual stats with no spin. Even with no asterisks (rookie, 2nd round pick, injuries), the numbers are . . . fine.

As far as Coby, he wants to be a better player. His defense has improved. That said, he got burned on back doors twice last night. He just doesn't have the handle, energy or instincts to be a very good player. His role right now is perfect for him.

Re: Who would you prefer on your team ? Coby or Ayo?

I didn't realize this was a debate on the Bulls board and I'm a frequent poster there. :lol:
