I love even more that Ayton didn’t care.

That goofy kid laughs about everything. He just shows up and plays.

I think Ayton might be too afraid to tell CP3 if he did care.
I can also see Paul telling him not to wait so long next game to get 20.

Have to like Ayton's openness to instruction. It's allowed him to take the next step and in the playoffs no less.
When you get a guy that young with that much talent who is willing to be coached but not only coached but coached hard then you got something that could be special.
you got a guy in Dallas and a guy in New Orleans who are you and from the outside looking in it looks like they think they know everything already.
the knock on him coming out was he plays no defense at all now he’s flat out elite on that end of the court and numbers show it while continuing to be freakishly efficient on the offensive end.
just thank god we didn’t draft Marvin Bagley yikes

Just my opinion.
I think Ayton is the Suns post-season MVP. Even last night. We have won playoff games without CP3. I am not sure we win ANY playoff games at all without Ayton.

His screens and movement on offense are really underrated. He sets really good ones and moves to good spaces smartly; it completely opens up our offense. I cannot think of a single other big man that could do what he does (maybe Davis) to get our offense initiated.

There have been a few times Ayton has ran the floor from end to end and finished with a dunk or an oop. It's just a great thing to see. I remember so many times watching him play and he couldn't do that. He looked gassed and slow.
That’s another thing: he is playing 5 more mpg in the playoffs AND somehow playing harder. That’s somewhat of a surprise.
Folks kept saying “does a Chris Paul team have another gear in the playoffs?” The answer is clear: Ayton unleashed.

One of the many incredibly stunning aspects to Ayton's post-season performance, is how he has managed to stay out of foul trouble while being so productive!

Agreed. And there’s still time for luka and Zion. By all accounts Paul thought he knew everything as a rookie too. Sometimes it just takes the right coach, right coaches, or time.

This is insane and further proof of Ayton stepping up this postseason.

Sarver would be smart to sign that kid to a max extension before he qualifies for a supermax.

Coincidently, the prop on his rebounds tonight is 12.5. Yahoo said to take the under.
Seems to me like he plays massive minutes with Saric out and facing 3 days til the next game. I would take the over.

From what I've seen, he has the ability to know when a guy is going to score anyway. He has really developed a good feel for post defense.

I thought Ayton played pretty mediocre last night several times failing to catch or finish at the rim on lobs. But late in the game he had 2 HUGE plays back to back a huge offensive board kickout for a 3 pushing the lead to 9. And then a rare for him play where on a baseline drive he came over blocked the shot and kept it in play. His defense has come leaps and bounds, still would like to see him more consistently challenge shots at the rim but he's getting there.
