Not to mention he has to deal with this BS and the refs giving the Lakers every call.

Ayton has been great in this series people that want to call him a bust don't know what there talking about.
He has been the most consistent sun in this series. Even better than booker.
An davis.
When I said davis I understand he plays for the lakers but I think he has been more consistent than him .

I agree, he's been killing it....but when I watch the games he could be doing so much more. It's almost like the Lakers is letting Ayton beat them while focusing on Booker and Paul.
For example, most if not all of Ayton's points have come from within 2 feet of the basket with the majority being wide open dunks or layups. I know close-to-the-basket shots is what Monty has told Ayton to focus on this year and has made Ayton a way more efficient player. However, there have been multiple times when Ayton has been fed the ball 5-7ft away from the basket and has been left wide-open or is being guarded by a small guard, and not even attempt to look at the basket, back down the player, or attack the basket. When he gets the ball more than 2 ft away from the basket he immediately starts to look for a pass. He could be doing so much more if he had an aggressive attack-first mentality when he gets the ball.
This is one (and most obvious) of many examples where he doesn't attack when he gets the ball in the 5 foot range He passed out for a Three vs going to the rim.

Here is his shot chart so far in the playoffs. so efficient!

I know it's silly to say...but another 2-3 years at Arizona would have prepared Ayton for the NBA. He had the body, but lacked the basketball knowledge because he didn't start playing the game until he was a teen (from what I recall).
Fortunately, it sounds like he won't be a "bust" because he's allowing the game to come to HIM. Hope he can continue his dominance throughout the postseason and earn a reputation as a tough rebounder and versatile low-post player!
