His middie is automatic, its so nice.
Ayton’s midrange shooting is nice, but I’m worried about how weak he’s looked around the rim, at the line and handling the ball.
He’s 25th in the NBA in percentage of shots from 16 feet to the three line and 26th most accurate from that range 64.7% of makes. Pretty good for a guy his size.
But Ayton falls off a cliff between 0 and 3 feet from the basket, where he’s at 132nd in attempts, behind a bunch of dudes he has no business being behind. I did a keyword search for “Ayton” and ran into Gary Payton II first. That plays right in to his free throw attempts, at 186th right now with one attempted per game.
I know he doesn’t have a good point guard, but there are a lot of players without good point guards who he should be outperforming, especially with a max contract. He deserves kudos for the midrange shooting and criticism for his deficiencies inside.
As a Suns fan, he always has been. Always said his jump shooting potential should be utilized more.
Especially if Nurk is given the green light to shoot
Yep.
Of all time 🤪🤪🤪
Watching him shoot from short and middle range is like watching a guy play pop-a-shot
