We really need more of this content right now
Love Ayton’s vibe in this
DA has an amazing opportunity to rehab his image and reputation in Portland. He’s in a helluva place to succeed with Ant and Scoot.
The vibes are immaculate
Ayton is so happy to be here. Good sign.
1st team all vibes back on the menu boys
He really wanted out of Phoenix. Can’t wait to see a full season of scoot ayton pick and rolls
Beyond excited to see this young roster run the floor! DeAndre is a gazelle like LaMarcus was and you know Scoot+Shaedon are gonna push the ball.
Deandre’s excitement is making me excited.
He’s so happy let’s gooooo
They ain’t even bother to fly jrue in 😠yeah his ass is gone soon.
I’m probably just a fool falling for PR, but it’s nice to see some excitement to be here
DA seems HYPED to be here lf get it
In the immortal words of Mike G Rich, this brings me joy!
Move over dame time because it’s Dominayton time.
Can this season start already.
LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Dude was sooooo tired of being in Phoenix and it showed lol
I really think Ayton will thrive here. He loves to face up and shoot jumpers but he has very solid touch. Thing is, when you are playing with CP3/Booker/KD who are all All Time great mid-range jump shooters, Ayton had to turn into a dirty work Capela type of big. Which isn’t his game, which is why PHX went with Bismack/Landale because they knew their role. Obviously Ayton could have put the team first and tried to adjust his game, but as the #1 pick he probably just wanted more support and wanted to further develop.
Now we have Scoot and Simons who run a ton of PnR and are both threats to shoot and drive, then that will open up a ton for Ayton. Plus, Chauncey had experience with needing to pander to Nurks attitude so there shouldn’t be an issue to make sure Ayton gets his touches to stay engaged.
I honestly think there is a chance that Ayton can resemble some Lamarcus Aldridge here…
