    for me it’s more eye test, how does he move, jump, good BBIQ, pass and shoot. Does he play with heart and give 110% all the time. Ayton actually passes a lot of these but downfall was heart and passion for winning.

    While he looks awkward moving at times, definitely a concern the fact that a 7’ is doing quick spin moves, throwing lobs off the backboard to himself and making better passes than most PG’s.

    I’m not saying he’s going to be a star but it’s possible. Been lots of guys that are overlooked, maybe we got lucky or maybe we have another Ha. I’m a gambler so I’m glad we took a risk

    It's Yin Yang, not Ying Yang
    Yin is water, Yang is fire.....I'm hoping for the "Yang" version
