Ayton's failure to get a big contract and his thriving performance have become one of the most talked about by fans this season. Some people say that the Suns management is meticulous and needs to see the specific performance of this season before they are willing to give a matching contract. Others say the sun is now prescient, chilling an inner pillar that could become the most reliable pillar of the next decade. In fact, many fans do not understand why the sun would do such a thing, is Ayton not worthy of the current sun? Or does management feel that Ayton may become a parallel cargo in the future?
To be honest, neither the fans nor the management have to worry, because Ayton cannot become a parallel cargo. Although Ayton's current performance is not as good as the period of Trae Young, Doncic and others. But as a champion, his grades are qualified. And from the perspective of the general law of development in history, Ayton has surpassed most of the elements. After all, Ayton now has the experience of reaching the finals, which is an experience that many people do not have.
Whether on the field or in everyday life, Ayton is a low-key and humble person. Although the appearance is five big and three thick, the personality is unusually shy. Although in the NBA, low profile does not do him any good for his development. But because of his good personality, Ayton has a good opportunity to develop in the team. You rarely hear Ayton yelling at a referee or teammate on the field, he just concentrates on doing what he has to do. Many people say that which of the talented people in history is not a personality? Is it because Ayton himself knows that his ability is not good, so he does not dare to shout on the field? Actually, it's not, Ayton is doing this to focus on his own business. Complaining to the referee will not solve the problem, it will only intensify the contradiction. Instead of chattering, it is better to do what you should do, which is the duty of a player.
It has to be said that Ayton's maturity is unmatched by many young players. At the same time, although Doncic was talented, he often had conflicts with his teammates and coaches, and always complained to the referee. It's good that young players have their own ideas, but in a team, any player should follow the coach's instructions. Only in this way can unity be achieved. Otherwise, how can the team play a good chemistry? In the same way, young players need to learn to adapt to the scale on the field and focus on the game. At this point, Ayton is much better than Doncic. Having this attitude and the mentality of humble learning, coupled with Ayton's original talent is not bad, is destined to achieve better results.
Of course, only this kind of soft power that can't see the data is certainly not enough to support Ayton to achieve better results later in his career. If you want to prove that you are not a parallel cargo, you also need to take some practical actions to speak. The most obvious thing about Ayton is the physical talent of horror. As a champion, Ayton had physical conditions comparable to that of an admiral. His height is a qualified center template, but he has the speed of three or four positions. This speed advantage ensures that Ayton can protect the rebound for a short time when he retraces. Because of its large size, it is not easy to be pushed open by the opponent when the card position is located, and after getting the ball, it can quickly keep up with the counterattack of the teammate. So in the Suns' lineup, you can often see Ayton fighting back quickly. No way, people just have this condition.
The defensive end can take advantage of its own speed, and the offensive end can do the same. Ayton's height and mobility ensure that he can take the initiative when eating bread. There is a lot of room for teammates to block and dismantle, and you can also find a good position when you go down. The reason why the Suns will put a traditional defender who is good at organizing passes is on the one hand to share the pressure of Booker, and on the other hand, to call on Ayton's advantage. After all, not all players can have such terrible conditions as Ayton. (On Paul's side, big guys who are good at eating bread can play well, like Jordan Jr.) But it is also easy to be considered to be Paul's credit, so this is related to the identification of Ayton's ability, and the management does not recognize Ayton's own ability, but feels that it is Paul's credit. According to the league' statistics, more than 59.2% of Ayton's eating cakes come from Paul, and 78% of them can become direct scores. This efficiency ranks second among the active internal and external line combinations.
If you think Ayton will only eat bread, you're dead wrong. As we said earlier, Ayton's maturity is among the top players in the same period. This maturity is also reflected in his playing style. Many players enter the league in a fit that is not up to standard. Basically because of the small body, it is difficult to adapt to the confrontation of the league. But Ayton is different, he has already trained a copper-skinned iron bone in college. So after entering the league, Ayton quickly adapted to the rhythm of the professional arena.
What's even more rare is that Ayton's game skills are also very skilled. Ayton has very solid low-post skills. Compared to some of the current unprofessional centers who like to pull to the outside line to shoot three points, Ayton's approach is a one-sided one-sided. Ayton has advantages like yao ming in the early days, with flexible steps, can read defense, and a good little hooker. Ayton is one of the few players who can open the bow with both the left and right hands. This soft feel also allows Ayton to pull his offensive zone directly from the inside penalty area to near the three-point line, providing enough space for players who need to attack in the interior area. Relying on skilled hookers, Ayton can even complete the shot through prejudgment and the power of the fingers. For a power center, this is very rare.
Finally, we used some data to evaluate Ayton's ability. Shooting from the basket, Ayton can maintain close to 80%, which belongs to the level of a first-line center. With two points up close, Ayton can maintain a 55 percent shooting efficiency, which is in the first gear among players in the same position. It can be said that Ayton is a new type of center that can adapt to modern playing styles, and he can also have the upper hand in the confrontation with traditional centers. With Ayton, there are more possibilities.
As the most anticipated center of the younger generation, Ayton has many advantages and many places to learn. But in any case, he will certainly not be the parallel goods in everyone's mouth. Unless there is a terrible injury that affects the career, otherwise according to the current script, Bao Di is also an all-star.
