In the Suns' 113-103 win over the Pacers, Biyombo played 29 minutes and 30 seconds off the bench, scoring 21 minutes, 13 boards, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks on 9-of-12 shooting, including 6 frontcourt boards! Suns starting center McGee played 18 minutes and finished with 13 points, 12 boards and 3 blocks on 6-of-10 shooting. Good guys, Biyombo is going to steal McGee's playing time...
So the question is, what about Ayton? Brother Yuan has missed three games due to an ankle sprain. According to media statistics, when Ayton was absent this season, the Suns' record was 14 wins and 3 losses, which was heartbreaking! Speaking of Biyombo, he became the seventh player in Suns history to play off the bench to score 20+10+5, the last time dating back to James Jones in 2006.
Paul said of his collaboration with Biyongbo: "I know how to attract the bag clip, as long as Biyongbo can play with me, he can be in an empty position. Billy Beaum said: "For a center like McGee and me, it's perfect to be able to play with Paul in the Suns' system!" He cut 34 points, 25 boards, 5 assists and 5 blocks with McKids!
Two of his last three games have had two double-doubles: on Jan. 18, the Suns vs Spurs, Who played 25 minutes off the bench, scoring 17 points, 14 boards, 1 assist and 1 steal on 8-of-10 shooting. On January 2 this year, the Suns gave Biyongbo a 10-day short contract, and in the next two games, he won 11 points and 6 boards and 16 points and 6 boards, respectively, and on January 12, the Suns renewed his contract with him until the end of the season.
Prior to signing with the Suns, Billyon had been without the ball this season, and the 29-year-old left the league for a while. Paul was a key factor in the Suns' signing of Biyombo, and he asked Lowry about Biyombo. After playing a few games, Paul praised Bi Yongbo: "Hard work is a talent, he did it!" ”
So far this season, Billy Biyunbo has played in 8 games for the Suns, averaging 20 minutes per game and can get 10.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.3 blocks. Shot 70.2% from the field and 62.5% from the free throws! Than Yongbo's offensive efficiency (121.1) is third in the league, defensive efficiency (93) is first in the league, net efficiency (28.1) is first in the league!
Who would have thought that biyongbo, who was unloved in the NBA, joined the Suns, and his defensive efficiency and net efficiency were actually the first in the league! Look at McGee, who has played 40 games for the Suns this season, averaging 16 minutes per game, can score 10.1 points, 7 boards and 0.9 blocks, shooting 65.3% from the field and 67.8% from the free throw line. Defensive Efficiency League 24th!
The Suns are currently in the league with 36 wins and 9 losses, and Ayton has only played 28 of them, averaging 30 minutes per game, with 16.8 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.8 blocks, shooting 63.7% from the field and 71.3% from the free throw line. Offensive efficiency league 55th (112.7) and defensive efficiency league 145th (107.7).
Ayton is only 23 years old and has played more time, but his stats don't completely crush McGee and Biyombo. This makes the sun wonder: is Ayton personally capable, or is it because of Paul's bonus? Last offseason, Ayton wanted a five-year, $172.5 million top-salary contract, but was rejected by the Suns.
Ayton's rookie contract expires this summer, and with the rise of Biyombo and McGee, it's harder for him to get a salary top! Do you think Ayton has a chance to take a big contract of 170 million?
