Shaedon is starting to look for him too. I think most important thing is to just not throw it into him in a congested deep post, where he is most likely going to turn it over.
When the guards return and proper spacing is restored, have Ayton establish deep position in an empty paint and dump it into him for that hook shot which is money. Or scheme him to get into the mid post for that little foul line pullup which is also money. Look to him in transition for oops of course. Those are his three most efficient types of shots I think, and maximizing those plus his two putback dunks a game, ought to be enough to get him 20 points a game eventually.
Probably should also just tell him to not expend too much energy trying to establish deep post position if the lane is clogged with 2 or 3 defenders.
I think Sharpe started to learn how to make some drop off passes under the rim if he gets past his first defender. It was starting to click for him and it lead to two easy buckets for Ayton, one was an INSANE dunk over FOUR Jazz defenders!!! Goodness if Ayton played with that sort of fearlessness at the rim and through contact, he would be a top 5 center easily.
Really excited about our guards getting more comfortable playing with Ayton and the coaching staff getting Ayton more shot opportunities. Would love for him to get at least 15 shot attempts a night.
