Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton saw a season-high usage of 35.53 on Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards.
He had some impressive baskets in the post via direct calls to get him involved in the areas of the floor he’s most comfortable operating from.
The premise was not unlike how he was featured in their first-round series against the New Orleans Pelicans from last season, but it showcased some evolution from him, via the short roll, as I mentioned in my “Stephen’s Study,” from Tuesday postgame.
A lot of people, including myself, have had a scope on his short-roll playmaking and decisiveness in attacking while in the advantage with the pass.
