If we were to get him with a non-Kyrie/pick package, I’d be skeptical, but would keep an open mind until he shows what he’ll be here (maybe he needs a change in scenery, crazier things have happened).
Against the best big in the league and it was more about foul trouble. Looking at shooting percentages Ayton is holding Jokic nearly 10% below his season averages. Not sure if any other player in the league would do a better job. Towns and Gobert certainly didn´t and the T´Wolves doubled a lot. Suns are willing to give up the 1v1.
In the end it comes down to a fundamental roster building question. Is Ayton not worth it because he cannot keep up with Jokic and Embiid? If that is the case. Is there a single big in the league that would be worth more than MLE-type money?
