Is it really underachieving on Ayton’s end? He’s doing all of the things he was expected to do. People just see his body type and see freak athlete, when he’s actually a stiff hip, not fluid movements guy.

Facts. Terrible footwork and coordination. He’s so useless sometimes. It’s sad.
 
Suns should be bantered just as much as the Hawks are for passing on Luka.

At least the Hawks got a good player.

Suns got a waste man.

Ayton has his flaws, he is limited, but he is a good player when he actually puts in the effort

Second, no they don't. Ayton was the damn near consensus #1 pick going into the draft. They made the choice most people were saying they should make. In hindsight they goofed, but at the moment they made what most people feel was the correct choice.

Na.

I’m not giving organizations outs for passing up on a generational talents.

You don’t draft on “fit”. You draft on talent. The better player should always be drafted.

Sacramento passing on Luka because Vlade had static with his pops is one of the greatest urban legends of that draft and about why Luka fell to #5 :lol:

Not everyone was sold on Luka, people damn sure weren't saying he would be a lock to be this good

This is just Monday morning quarterbacking masquerading as a cogent take

It’s not Monday morning QBing.

Plenty of people knew how good Luka was. Lots of people knew the things he was doing in the second best league on the planet were unprecedented (and he was doing them at 16-18 years old).

Yet damn near every mock draft had Ayton at #1

Yet the Suns didn't get dragged in the media for taking Ayton after the draft

This is just the same old tired take. Somehow there was this big consensus about Luka being the clear #1 choice in the draft, and the Suns goofed.

That is just not what happened. No matter how much people try to pretend it is
