Best illustration of this is a play I didn't see but they mentioned in this week's 247 podcast. Near the end of a quarter the ball was up top waiting for the clock to go down and Ayon was just sitting in the lane because in Euroball you can do that. Squeaky yelled at him to move and he didn't so Squeaky ran over to him and physically pushed him out of the lane
Yeah, I think learning the nuances of NBA rules and English will help immensely. Last night Henry was trying to get him to set a pick or something and they just could not communicate on it. I think that also had to do with both being new to the offensive system.
Honestly, I don't think he's that "raw" per se. The guy seems to have a pretty high basketball IQ and understands positioning, but is still growing as a player. When I think raw, I think Micheal Beasley.
I know Gyno is a hater, but I do truly believe Ayon will be a big part of the Hornets future. Henry, with that stroke, could very well be a huge bench player for us in the next couple of years, too.
