This was the Ayton we saw for the majority of the Suns’ playoff run, the one a fair bit of the fanbase feels did enough to earn a five-year max contract extension that he ultimately did not get at the start of the season. “To have that element of faking that DHO, and not just going to the basket but going under control is a weapon for us,” Williams said. Like Devin Booker, we all wholeheartedly approve of Assertive Ayton /aQqrb5wp9k That included a take to the basket on a dribble handoff that Ayton has done sparingly throughout his time with the Suns, and Ayton said Booker told him he’s been waiting three years for him to fake the DHO and go with it. Hard screens, rim runs, seals, engaged dives, tip-ins, defensive positioning and so on are the ways in which Ayton can fully impact the game just based on his energy and floor sense alone.
BACKUP EXEC ALTERNATIVES HOW TO
It was one of those games where Ayton was fully plugged in to the flow of the game and understood how to maximize his imprint on it. Once the starters came back in, that’s when the second quarter was all Ayton. The charge Payne led with the second unit in the first quarter had the Suns (14-3) up four over the Spurs (4-12) through a pretty blah 12 minutes all things considered. I think he’s in much better condition to play the way that he played last year in the playoffs and we just hope it continues.” “He’s finding the balance of attacking and finding (teammates),” Williams said.
BACKUP EXEC ALTERNATIVES PLUS
Head coach Monty Williams shouted out Payne’s defensive effort as of late, plus his offense. He missed five games due to a hamstring strain, and against San Antonio, he looked like a guy who had his burst back. Payne was one of the best backup point guards in basketball last year, but entering Monday, he was shooting only 37.9% and averaging just 2.6 assists per game. With Phoenix down five, reserve Cam Payne changed the game by playing downhill basketball all night long.

The Suns looked the part of a team that flew in from Phoenix the night prior after a win, as it was a groggy opening shift from the Suns without much dribble penetration, which didn’t help make shots fall any easier. Those were the two main factors in Monday’s win. One of them was that “Dominayton” gear fourth-year center Deandre Ayton can reach, and another is a good bench that was struggling 15 games in. Through mostly continuity and a defense fully hitting its stride, the Suns have been cranking out victory after victory, despite a handful of the team’s elements not being fully realized yet that made them so special last year. The Phoenix Suns’ 115-111 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Monday made a solid case for why the team’s now 13-game winning streak is so impressive.
