Some Phx reporter was on 1290 to gay talking about Suns and Ayton.
He said that after CP3’s first day with the team CP3 told coaches that he could tell Ayton had never had any quality coaching.
Later he would tell coaches before practices that he was going to really ride Ayton that day because he needed to be pushed and held accountable.

Crazy reality: This year will be the first year since 2014 that Andre Iguadala won't be in the NBA Finals. What a career.

Deandre Ayton will win multiple MVP awards in his career.

Don’t think highly of Damon as THE HEAD COACH OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA?

Ehh, at this point I’d say he’s a toss up when compared to Tommy Boy.

But whooo …… Damon sure did want to get the fuck away from Stockton.

validation is a coach leaving a head coaching position to become an assistant coach elsewhere as is an assistant coach recognized by being inducted into the assistant coaches hall of fame

With two spots opening up on the men's Olympic basketball team, how does Deandre Ayton get passed over for JaVale McGee?

Wouldn't he play for the Bahamas?

Maybe you're right. I thought since Jalen Rose had been touting Ayton for USA, he'd gained dual citizenship.

I honestly don't know but if they had a choice and picked McGee, that's crazy af

Jalen Rose is an idiot.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Fri Jul 16, 2021 3:31 pm

Okay maybe I shouldn't be listening to Jalen Rose. But I just googled it and there's an azcentral article talking about hope that Ayton will get US citizenship and be on Team USA for the next round.

Well at least if javale McGee is playing, there will be some good shaqtin a fool moments.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Wed Jul 21, 2021 10:42 am

I don't agree with criticism of Ayton. He developed his game as much as a very young big man could this past season. The Bucks' defense took away how the Suns have been using him in their pick-and-roll. You can be sure as shit he's going to develop additional dimensions to his game starting this off-season. Keep watching this man grow.

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Wed Jul 21, 2021 1:59 pm

DAyton isn't as quick as Giannis and it's unfair to compare then in totality at these points in their careers, but DA can surely move his legs more if he wants to close the gap a smidge.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Wed Jul 21, 2021 2:53 pm

I wonder how much stronger Ayton can get. You see those younger pictures of Giannis all skinny in his Bucks uniform.

Ah yes, I recall when the Wildcats were 4 NBA future stars and a mid-major kid named TJ McConnell. Don't think those 4 NBA prospects are playing in the league.

Lute knew it though. He said the best player on the team is redshirting due to transferring.

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Mon Aug 02, 2021 5:17 pm

Dang that's a good deal. He's earned it all. So awesome to see him going to have a minimum like 10 year NBA career after everyone doubting him.

Australia destroyed (World No. 4 ranked) Argentina 97-59

Josh Green has scored in the Olympics - 6 points on 3 of 3 shooting. I thought I saw him miss a three, but it must have been somebody else.

Nico Mannion's been pretty good for Italy. 15 and 5 so far.

TJ's deal renews my faith in life and hope. And that's the thing about TJ, he's much more than a BBall success, he's a fulcrum in the goodness of life and everything about him makes me happy.

Good. Because the Bulls don’t know what the fuck they are doing with him. Let him go somewhere that will use his shooting and height correctly.

Would love to see him go to the warriors, but I know nothing about anything so it probably makes no sense, except that he is a great player and Kerr is a great coach and he'd be one more perimeter threat.

This is right. The Bulls spent years pushing him into a role he's not made to be in. Boylen telling him to just go rebound was the nadir.

Lauri sign and trade to Cleveland on 4/67.

It's an interesting young core the Cavs are building. Hopefully they use him better than the Bulls did.

If nothing else, the Cavs won’t blame him for not shooting enough when literally the only way he would get the ball was on a long rebound from some sub-30% shooting guard clanking a three off the back iron.
