Booker was pg befire cp3 thete n very capable like hsrdin swirch hos gane u a little, so i see him doing it. But hes prob ther best scorer too
Bpoker will avg like 9 asssts n 22 or sonething n scafrice causeckd n beal cant play pg
U can't teach DOG
Julius randle was crazy. I’m taking Ayton over randle 10 times out of 10
Booker will have some high turnover games if he run point. Make Beal do it.
Ayton don't Avg 18 and 10 this year he a BUST. Dude does not defend with effort and Reb is shit
I'll take Zubac over Ayton💯
KG, Kevin Durant has had Westbrook, Harden, Steph, Klay, Kyrie, and many others his entire career, bro. Stop playing like he's had to hard carry teams. He's only done it a few times due to injuries, but you need to calm down with that narrative. Durant has had some Elite teammates his entire career
KG right on this one, Aiden dont need to be nowhere but 18' & in, let everyone else stretch the floor
When the time comes, it will be the snakes team
KG Big Energy!
Hot Take 💪🏿💚💚💪🏿
KG right cause in playoffs shoots not falling and tempo slowed down you need that inside presence……
💪🏿💚💚💪🏿 Ayton will be needed down the stretch
KG doesnt know how to play anything but ISO ball… he had free reigns in gsw and still complained about the system…. How many systems does he need to play in to show us that…. he aint HIm
That’s y I wish they would’ve got Myles turner. He can stretch the defense with outside shooting and play the D. Haliburton would’ve unlocked Ayton. It’s a win win
Nobody wants or care about Paul opinion. Ima suns fan from the beginning we’ll fine like we always have been. Just need a ring this time around, since they cheated us out of 06 – 07 championship. Paul think he better than wade, he doesn’t matter lol
Love KG, he keep it and speaking the truth. F**k them stats and them four shots, we up 40 😂
I think KD might actually take a step back and let Booker and Beal do their thing. I'm sure he's watching what's going on with his contemporaries and how they are being scrutinized like Harden and Westbrook are, so he'll try to be more about the team and less about his stats.
So KD get no blame? 😂 im dead
So you got KD, Beal, and Book and Ayton need to shoot 3’s?!!🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
The truth was a great player. But Ayton playing more outside makes no sense. You already have a 7ft shooting 3s. Ayton needs to be their post presence. How do you get rebounds if everyone is outside. Nuggets just showed the importance of a center. Maybe with a coach respecting his talent and what he brings will re energize him. Cuz with monte he was always the scapegoat
Paul pierce sound crazy lol wow
Y’all gotta understand I’ve watched every suns game … Ayton is our first quarter guy … he comes out strong every first quarter
I feel like booker did what kd did and took his team to the finals and you can't give the team to a older Durant at that poinT unless he out performs booker it's Booker's team. Last yr Durant off injury booker was the best scorer on the team
Greek is pf an Anthony Davis.
But there's nobody would take Ayton over Greek there's no maybe
Greek jokic are the two best players between center and power forward
Embid is third I'd take bam and Davis over townes
But townes could be better coached by someone else and on different franchise
If we just talking center is Ayton more valuable than Utah jazz Goebert? I don't think so. He has more offensive skills but he isn't embedded in his role like he was. I'd even take Goebert over townes because townes simply isn't a winner
I'm not sure Ayton is 25 and 10 but 22 on the right team sure
Question is can he do it and get you to the playoffs
Ayton isn't good enough to command the double enough I agree with Paul he isn't good enough to get them open enough and most centers are defensive guys . I think Ayton more of mid range shooter but they don't have a young facilitator to help him in position
So nobody thinks Beal could do something. I agree Durant old and if you going to be a factor for say next 3-4 seasons Beal and booker gotta figure it out not kd
Bruh what in the world is cognac P talking bout😂.. He doesn't need to change his game. Keep speaking fax ticket 🎟
You can tell which one of them actually watches Ayton fr lol
