All I heard about is Luka Mania, and rightly so as the guy is a beast, but looking at Ayton's stats, while his team is poor, the guy is putting up numbers. 16 and 11 on 59% from the field with a PER of 21.3. He even has a FT % of 77%, which is sadly better than any of our young core.

I admittedly have only seen him play twice against the Lakers - how is he? I don't hear much about him, but from a stats perspective, the dude is ballin'.

The common opinion seems to be he's good on offense, terrible on defense. Lot of talent, but young and unfocused.

16/11 ob 59% is okay and all, but he is big, so the rebounds and FG% almost a given, plus he plays on a crap team. The flashy guards with comparable stats (albeit less efficient) will always draw the majority of attention. Especially guys with historical seasons. Luka is having the best rookie season by a teenager and a top 5 rookie season of all time.
