    I don't trust Ayton to set good screens (or any screen at all sometimes), or to affect paint shots by the opponent the way Clingan does.

    To me, Ayton is not a good complementary piece to Sharpe. Sharpe will do best when all of his teammates are looking to break him free to get downhill.

    Sharpe will also probably do best when he knows he's the 1st option and dumping a pass to a standstill Ayton for a mid-range shot isn't part of the offense.

    I would rather Sharpe himself dribble to that spot and take that shot.

    At times in a game, if the Blazers need some 2-point shots, Ayton would be a good option.

    DA had become the ultimate role player before he went down recently - in terms of not getting in the way. Unlike Ant and JG, DA usually doesn’t even have the capacity to shoot us out of games. I don’t get the constant hate he gets

    it sure opens things up for him when he's hitting from the outside. Thats two games in a row he's been rolling though it was against bottom feeder teams. Tomorrow will be a real test against Cleveland.
