Ayton will be tested tomorrow.

Ayton’s performance is usually extremely lackluster: he doesn’t jump for rebounds, he doesn’t close in on players on defense, he doesn’t run back to defend, etc.

Yesterday’s performance for Ayton against the Bulls was great, but the team needs him to put up those numbers against playoff teams. We only see him putting up these stats against under .500 teams…if we want to get far in the playoffs, Ayton needs to put in more effort. I wonder if JJ sees this and talks to him about it…every single game I watch Ayton is the laziest on the court and nothing seems to change.

Let’s see how he does against the Nuggets tomorrow.
