He's a good rebounder some nights but he's not within the top 5 rebounders in the league. He gets a lot because the Suns don't have other rebounders so he ends up with a few more than he would if he played with a real PF.

no...he’s exactly in the top 5 matter fact number 4

While that may be true he’s still a top rebounder. But lately he’s had a couple subpar rebounding games.

I need to find a site that ranks players by rebounding rate. Id be curious to see where he falls in that regard.

And Chris Paul only has 2 points. He has been playing so well and shooting 50% from three over the last 10 games.

That Nets loss might have been a blessing in disguise.

yup. I said at the time that maybe it was the “getting too big for their britches” game. They’ve definitely bounced back like beasts.

His offensive rebound numbers are better than many others defensive rebounds numbers.

Not sure how many of you have auto notifications on for the Suns app, but a few years ago, when the team was getting curb stomped, it’d stop posting the game score. It was kind of embarrassing. Glad we’re on the other side of the timeline

Did I see that stat right? First team in NBA history with back-to-back games of 35+ assists and 20+ three pointers? Where are they tonight? Can they threepeat? Looking now. They need 10 more assists and 6 more threes. Don't see it happening with the end of the bench unit.

This.......its like deja vu

if Ayton had taken a big step forward like Amare did that year, we’d be the best team in the league like 2004. Or at least best record.

hopefully he keeps coming around and gets a little better. Unlocking his aggression and making it full time is all that stands between this team being a playoff contender and a title contender. The 2004 team was almost unstoppable offensively, but this team is MUCH better defensively and much much deeper.

regardless, I’m having a blast right now watching this team. They are playing beautiful basketball.

Statistically sure but stats don't tell the whole story. I didn't think I would need to spell it out like that but I guess I did.

I mean or you can ignore numbers and just try and discredit a guy when you should just admit your wrong.
