Sad but true.
But, it reminds me of something that relates to the Ayton discussion (not directed at you). Almost no one was happy about Dinwiddie. All most people did was look at the Washington version and say meh. Few bothered to look at or remember what Dinwiddie was he last season in Brooklyn before he got hurt. Dinwiddie was fantastic here (if we limit the discussion to the rest of that season and in the playoffs).
I think a bit of the same if going on with Ayton. He was much better (especially defensively) in 21/22 than he was last season. I don't think we can rule out or guarantee a pick up in play with a change of scenery. But, there is a gear he's show before that he didn't show last season for whatever reason. I think my position on Ayton is I'd rather take a chance on getting that back than on someone who has never shown that gear (depending on price of course).
