I watched about 3.5 Zona games (Sean Miller makes me want to scratch my eyes out) and I dont think he compares to what I saw from Embiid at KU. Bambaa compares a little more favorably with his development throughout the season. I think Ayton has the body but doesnt have the drive to impose his will. I watched the whole Texas A&M game and he wanted nothing to do with Tyler Davis and I was hoping he would take that challenge on both ends.
In general, dont like Ayton's approach to the game. Closest comp I can think of when watching him and his impact on a game is Derrick Coleman back at Cuse and then the early NJ years. Plays much harder with more impact on offensive side when he knows ball is coming than on D where he should be much better at impacting a game. Because he wants to be a perimeter player, he exerts alot more energy than he should so he looks tired alot out there when the ball isnt in his hands.
I do like his mastery of showing at the midpost and attacking from there.
Watched a ton of U of A being in AZ. It’s 100% effort with him, and I’m hoping the lack of motor shown is because he just really wasn’t interested in college ball because the dude is absolutely incredible in the post.
Really hoping Suns bring him home, but also reallllly want them to take Doncic.
