Good write up. On Ayton in particular.
I really wonder where this came from. Is it just a function of lakers defending the three point line? He’s also been good on the boards and defensively as much as possible on his own. If he can bottle this and add even just 5 FTs/game he’s a beast. Big if, given his history, but still . . .
I don’t buy it’s a product of how the Lakers are defending. He is getting a ton of defensive boards. He is also drawing one of their big men every time down the court and yet is still putting in buckets. For whatever reason certain guys match up well against certain teams.
