A guy whose job is to set picks and draw a defender by providing a vertical threat who feels like he's underused in that role? Wouldn't he clog the middle of the floor in pretty much the exact same way, and wouldn't giving him a max extension provide him with the mental ammo he needs to feel like he deserves the ball when/where he wants, just like it did for Porzingis?
I think the big difference is, that Ayton actually can punish smaller guys and be effective in the post.
