Wood You Consider Spending Over the First Apron

[The Jom]

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.

This is the majority view here. Even Tim Duncan isn’t worth real money in today’s nba unless he learns to play 5 out. I can’t agree. But we’ll see.
