And Ayton is nowhere near a substitute for even AD. Even with Lebron, I think the the Lakers front line looks pretty thin.
I agree. GS let Luka do his thing and pressured most of the others into ineffective games. LAL shot ~25% on 3pt shots while GS was around 50% on higher volume.
Actually felt like a typical DAL game when Luka was here. His usage was 34.7%, a little higher than SGA even. So there was a lot of LALs standing around waiting for Luka to do his thing.
He made a few defensive plays in the paint, but also was a matador on the perimeter a few times. I think that's where he's going to miss DLive/PJ/Gaff the most since they cleaned up some of his messes. Ayton is only going to help so much defensively.
