Former Sun staff: Ayton can only do half-baked Luca & Redick will be driven crazy by him
Recently, ESPN famous reporter Tim MacMahon talked about Ayton's adaptability to the Lakers on the show.
He said: "I have always been not optimistic about Ayton's adaptability with the Lakers because I know that if he doesn't actively hit the basket on the court and always wants to play singles at the low post. Luca is not the kind of player who is very patient with his teammates, JJ Redick's patience will definitely be tested."
"Yesterday I talked to several people about Ayton, one of the former Suns staff and one of the former Trail Blazers staff. The former Suns member said, 'Ayton will definitely not work when he goes to the Lakers. He only does that kind of half-stop roll. thing), Luca will be completely tired of him, and JJ Redick will be driven crazy, which will be a disaster. '"
" The former Trail Blazers staff said, 'Listen, part of the responsibility for all the problems that the Trail Blazers had at that time is DeAndre Ayton, and the other part is in the management. 'But he thinks Ayton will understand his current situation - he is no longer a maximum salary player and has been abandoned by two teams. He is basically proving his game with a middle-class special contract ($16.6 million for two years, second year player option). This will give him a sense of urgency and a sense of hunger that may have never been seen in the first two careers of the league. ”
"I asked him, 'Will he make the necessary changes to partner with Luca? 'He replied, 'If he knew he could get a pass, he would actively rush the basket. 'He also pointed out that Ayton was very efficient as a pick-and-roll endpoint when he collaborated with Chris Paul. After the conversation, I was a little optimistic about this. The key is Ayton's attitude, whether he is willing to do dirty work and tiring work. If he can do this, it is possible to adapt to the team for a long time. I think this will either become a success story for long-term adaptation or will become a short-term farce disaster."
