Go suns!! Let’s go get a title!! I am excited for DA but he is kinda an after thought
Because like any immature mindset his back is against the wall.. he almost got traded. THATS why he might have a breakout season..
Ayton wants to be a superstar offensive player and that's not what we need from him. THATS why he gives up on defense.. He thinks that by doing that the coach is gonna want to get him the ball, Monte sat his butt down and I couldn't agree more. Damn the points.. if he not coming with the defense trade him mid season.. PERIOD
Unfortunately DA wasn't the only casualty, Monty also wasted the one and a half-ish years that CP3 still had in the tank.
I don't trust these girly men to step up. They have money now and are primadonnas.
He has the ability to be the best player on the floor. He has the skills and ability it’s a mental need or want to touch ball every play or having ball passed to you or getting of defense or rebound. There just lot of stars on the team. The stunt his growth in a way if you double his touches like the others he would be averaging possible 30 and 10.
I would give another chance, especially with a whole new offenses that’s going to be put into the team
I am sorry but if this man refuses to go for lay ups or dunks I might be done with the guy.
There is little chance that Ayton will be averaging 20+ points this year. There is simply too many other scorers on the team. I would imagine his PPG will actually drop this year, but the rebounds and blocks could go up and that is what this team needs.
Dude needs to stop pouting and just play with effort
As a long time Suns fan, at the end of last season I felt Paul and Ayton must go. They were both useless in the playoffs. I'm optimistic Vogel might get more out of him but not really expecting much.
He has a new coach and 13 new teammates… if he doesn’t ball next year, he won’t do it anywhere. I’m in the minority who think he’ll be great this year tho.
Trading a player to a new team can breathe life into a player, and he's practically in a whole new team (exption of Booker). I think he'll get better initially but with that victim mindset he's had, though to say., We'll have to wait and see. There's more talent on team. He'll either rise to the calling or clam down in a shell.
If Ayton averages 18 to 20 points this year, something went horribly wrong. Focus on defense and rebounding and being aggressive. On offense? Set awesome screens, roll hard to the basket and make yourself available for open shots at the rim. That's your whole job D.A.
Ayton could be so good. That is why it's so frustrating when he is sulky or unsure of himself.
I'd like to see da play more minutes. That might make him even more engaged in the game. Catching the ball in traffic might just never be his Forte
Like I said before in Twitter, our guy DA is hated on by referees in the NBA. A breakout year will always be a stretch at this point. The only international player that doesn’t get international star treatment!?! My thoughts exactly DA have to be onboard with Frank Vogel who I believe very much will turn DA to the player we all believe he can be while having the most fun at it being at the top of the met goal. I’m sorta lead to the impression that Frank Vogel is more of that worlds above Monty Williams who more given us that nervous vibes.
Bahama soft
Ayton should just stay off social media for AWHILE. He not getting any love until he starts going 💯 consistently. Fans don't want to see that half ass jogging BS
Ayton gonna turn back to that 21 finals run 💪🏻
Ayton just turned 25 as of today… Bigs in the NBA don't hit their prime until 27-28 years old, give him a little more time with the right players around him & he'll do great. In fact 7 of the top 10 Centers in the league are over 27… Ayton ranked 11. Give him time!!
i think its impossible for him to go for 18/10 this year due to having too many scorers on the team so what he needs to do is rebound and block shots
he is the wild card…….im pulling for him/them, we dont need 20 a night from him, 15 rebounds, yes….3 blocks, yes
Ayton is AbominAyton. He's tissue soft and lacks heart. You can't turn a kitty kat into a DOG!
All he has to do is protect the rim. Gets more rebounds. An play pick an roll an defence. That's all they asking of him. Be aggressive in whatever he does. That's it
Ayton's been a solid 18 and 10 since day one…the problem is everyone wants 24 and 12 with dunks instead of finger rolls.
His numbers are consistent but everyone sees a greater potential in him and that's what they hate.
Edit: Also, DON'T ever make your centers shoot 3's!! That is a ridiculous practice in today's game.
He likes the little old school fades n shit but when you pump fake anywhere near t hat rim you should be ripping the rim down everything swinging your feet up like Shaquile even David Robinson challenged fools at the rim.. You got a dunk that shit it creates momentum for us n him.. Vogel likes all bigs but expects to not let anyone near that rim.
Sun's get rid of him… it's a stupid thing to consider
Good video y’all! I have been preaching this since the Gambo tweets. We have seen DA dog every big in the league.
