Maybe I'm crazy but that seems perfectly reasonable for a 18/10 big man with more than adequate defense. Actually one of the better defending big men that can score
Um, with all due respect, did you watch him in the playoffs the past two years?
I just can't fathom this narrative of Ayton as being a defensive plus at the center position, especially given that salary. And while I think 2021's comment about drafting centers was a little over the top, if you're paying a center that much in 2023, it had better be for the reincarnation of Tim Duncan (who would be a center in today's game) with a 3-pointer. That's not Ayton.
