Former Sun staff: Ayton can only do half-baked Luca & Redick will be driven crazy by him

July 5th News Recently, ESPN famous reporter Tim MacMahon talked about Ayton's adaptability to the Lakers on the show.
He said: "I have always been not optimistic about Ayton's adaptability with the Lakers before, because I know that if he doesn't actively hit the basket on the court and always wants to play singles at the low post. Luca is not the kind of player who is very patient with his teammates, JJ Redick's patience will definitely be tested."
" Yesterday I talked to several people about Ayton, one of the former Suns staff and one of the former Trail Blazers staff. The former Suns member said: "Ayton will definitely not work when he goes to the Lakers. He can only do that kind of half-baked reluctuation, Luca will be completely tired of him, and JJ Redick will be driven crazy, which will be a disaster. "
" The former Trail Blazers staff said, "Listen, part of the responsibility for all the problems that the Trail Blazers had at that time was DeAndre Ayton, and the other part was in the team's management." ’But he felt Ayton would understand his current situation – he was no longer a maximum-paid player and had been abandoned by two teams. He is now basically holding a middle class special contract in proving his game ($16.6 million in 2 years, second year player option). This will give him a sense of urgency and stimulate a sense of hunger that he may have never experienced in his first two careers in the league. ”
"I asked him, 'Will he make the necessary changes to partner with Luca? ’ He replied, ‘If he knew he could get the pass, he would actively rush to the basket. ’ He also pointed out that Ayton and Chris Paul were very efficient as pick-and-roll endpoints when they collaborated. After the conversation, I became a little optimistic about this matter. The key lies in Ayton's attitude, in whether he is willing to do dirty work and tiring work. If he can do this, he will be able to adapt to this team for a long time. I think this matter will either become a successful case of long-term adaptation or will become a short-term farce disaster. ”
