Ayton is more *talented*. Hes more *physically gifted*. And thats why its frusterating that hes not goddamned *better* than Nurkic or, in many stretches, the various backup bigs we played during his tenure.
Do you know how many times I said “Ayton would be unstoppable if he he had the fearless mentality of JaVale McGee? Or Richaun Holmes? Or Jock Londale?” and the list goes on and on and on.
And yes, backup bigs play fewer minutes and thats why they often play so hard. But still, man.
