what are you on about

AD is an elite defender, but Ayton has been a good perimeter defender since early on. I think DA can surpass him on the defensive side, not too sure he'll ever compete offensively though.

he's great for sure, but he's also in his prime. ayton is 5 years younger and was doubted coming out of college if he could ever be a good defender.

point is, ayton at 22 years of age is doing things not many centers can do. AD, i'll grant you that. but who else? the list is short. handful at best!

I mean you basically just showed a switch center lol. a few guys are switchy but yeah Aytons crazy athletic. Bams switcher though for example. Giannis if you consider him a center and not a wing.

I love Ayton but I wish we had Wiseman instead

He got turned around and allowed deep penetration because his initial positioning and stance was poor. That he recovered is the only positive otherwise it isn't something he should do again.

I mean I just named three of them lol

Its essentially any switchy 5, aytons one of them.

him being on track to be AD on defense is a ridiculous overreaction though lol

Ayton had 26pts, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks last night. Decent stat line I guess .

Ayton did it with significantly better efficiency and less minutes. 73%FG and 100% from FT line. Can’t compare capellas 55% FT :oldlol:

Not to mention you capela is 4 years older. Ayton at 22 is starting to create his own plays. 2 games in a row he drives up and scores. 2pts isn’t always 2 points.

Not sure why I’m arguing with an alt.

No argument the stats speak for themselves. Ayton is a better free throw shooter, Clint is a better Center.

Good for him. Lmk when he can create his own shot and isn’t 4 years older than the player you’re trying to compare him to :roll:
