This guy really is looking like the steal we heard he was. How long is he signed for?

He's much more athletic than I thought he'd be.

His game is so good in so many areas. Good finisher. Good passer. Good ball handler for a big man. Good defender, too. Oh, and he rebounds like a beast. Dude is legit against the Timberwolves.

It will be nice once he learns to communicate with the team better. I don't think he speaks much English.

On Wednesday during the Thunder game, it looked like Vasquez had to keep calling plays out to him and I remember one point someone rushing over because he was in the paint and they pushed him out leaving their man open.

But I agree he is looking like a very good all around player.

The thing that stood out the most to me was he sets good picks. Sets a wide base and doesn't fricking move like every other hornet big.

Refs got out of control with those calls. Minny'd bigs were throwing a knee on their picks.

This thread needs to be bumped. Just saying. The guy has been even better than advertised.

Let's go. Vamos!

He's been so good already and he can only improve considering he only has a few NBA games under his belt. Can't wait to see him develop!

I am pretty strongly against white guys not actively playing basketball wearing jerseys, but I'm seriously considering an Ayon jersey. They need to make me an Ayon tee.

I can roll with that if it's very clever, cool and understated.

Im seeing more and more Ayon jerseys at the Arena. The people are loving him.

He is very fundamentally sound for being so raw, if that makes sense.
