Rebounding is difficult to evaluate. He certainly cannot boxout Jokic on his own. But his teammates aren´t doing anything to help him. Even more difficult when he has to step out of the paint to take away Murray´s or Porter´s pull up game. Felt like no one rotated over or at least tried to bump Jokic out of the dunkers spot.
A bit late but I'm with you here.
Ayton has had some memeable moments regarding lack of motor, but he's been as good as he could've been against Jokic. Not a star, but a really high quality starter type of guy.
