Surely you know the difference between those "big men" and Ayton



did anyone actually watch Ayton? You know how many guys could put up empty stats getting 30 mpg on that Phoenix team. He cannot be a headliner in an AD deal

He's not an asset in another trade when he does everything the rest of the league is getting away from

I did... And this post shows you didn't.

You would have to be the biggest idiot in the world to turn down the trade the OP suggested as a Pels fan.

He was arguably the most efficient rookie scorer of all time.

Rookies have been going to shite teams for decades, not sure why you think there are a million rookies over the years who could have gone to that team and put up those types of efficient numbers.

I think we would need 2019 1st rd pick, 2020 Suns 1st rd pick and the MIL 2020 1st they have

Then Ayton and some filler

Ayton does not compare to any of the big men on those teams. All are special in their multifaceted way

DPOTY like Gobert?

No

Inside/out & athleticism of Embiid?

No

Best passing big man in L like Jokic?

No

Until Ayton develops more skills it reminds me of when Greg Monroe was a thing on this board

Peak Monroe from '12-'16 had a TS% of .545.

Ayton as a rookie was at .608. Monroe's offense at his best doesn't really come close to as good as Ayton as a rookie.

Ayton also did all of this without any competent people to regularly create offense for him. No true PG. TJ missed half the year. No PF.

With a legit PG and a team that could actually shoot from the perimeter, Ayton will be averaging 25/12 easy. He also got better defensively. Still has a way to go. But if you need any indicator of how not having any help makes you look, Bledsoe is a first team all defense guy. Tucker was in the hunt. How you look on defense in PHX isn't exactly an accurate depiction.

We just hired Aaron Nelson, who was renowned as the best trainer in the NBA, it was seen a huge get for us.

Pretty sure PHO is known for their training/medical staff.

That's a factor. It's mainly because the Suns have holes to fill, and you have to give things up to get good players in return. He is more of a 6th man scorer because of his defensive inadequacies. The Suns need a starting lineup before they have the luxury of worrying about getting bench rotation guys right.

Im not saying he isn't good at what he does. 80% of his offense is in the lane, which is fine, but is that the return you want for AD and who you want to pair with Zion? His defense improved as the year went on but he was still bad as well.

You wouldnt center a package around Jarett Allen if you were trading AD to Brooklyn. There is some allure to Ayton being the 1 overall and getting heavy minutes on a bad team. I dont think Griffin would go for it

Last year's #1 pick that is cost controlled and had a good, efficient rookie season

The #6 pick

A good scoring wing Vet on a good contract

Them taking on a completely useless player

Possible other pick involvement.


That's is a good deal. Honestly its a deal we won't get.

Shel, TS% isn’t really an indication of offensive talent especially with a small sample size. Even more so considering the subject is a 7’0 post player on a 19 win team

I’m not saying he can’t score the ball. I’m questioning if his long term impact is enough to centerpiece an AD trade. That is highly in question in today’s landscape especially when wings highlight other potential packages

He shot over 40% from midrange this season as a rookie. He was just compared to Greg Monroe who shot a much lower percentage in his prime from that range and Ayton took far more shots from there.

Jarrett Allen took 20 shots total from that range this season. He shot .167 from the field. But sure, continue to compare Ayton to these guys.

Your expectations have changed that much since the season bunch? Or do you just think Ayton is next
