Far from a lock. Don't forget this is not all rookies.He absolutely should be.
DeRozan, the All Star, may have some juice he can bring to the party and help Ayo make the rosterHe absolutely should be.
I love Ayo and hope he has a long and prosperous career. But, when Ball and Caruso are healthy, Ayo is coming off the bench again. Maybe not forever, but certainly this year.Ayo is not leaving the starting lineup.
So, Ball off the bench? GMABAyo is not leaving the starting lineup.
Lonzo will be the starter when he returns. What is exciting is you can see Billy is positioning Ayo to be the back up instead of Coby. Ayo will get lots of tick, but it will be as the 2nd unit floor general.Ayo is not leaving the starting lineup.
Donovan has been giving Ayo more rope from the get go. And Ayo's handled it beautifully. This PG stint has gone exceedingly well.Lonzo will be the starter when he returns.

And? I'll opt for always having a PG on the floor. Yeah, Ayo can play with Ball (or anyone). But it's pretty clear that Ayo has better PG skills than everyone 'cept Ball.Javonte Green
This. Ayo as NBA PG is increasingly a reality, he's had some unbelievable passes of late. Can't wait to see him dice up 2nd team units....And? I'll opt for always having a PG on the floor.

Also, Green brings stuff Ayo doesn't.
Point would be his best position for sticking in the NBA for a long time. He really doesn’t play above the rim and isn’t a lights out shooter. (Maybe he can become the later with work.) At the 2 position I think he’d be constantly challenged for playing time by players that can do one or the other if not both. With legit point guard skills, the ability to guard 1-3, jump the passing lanes, rebound and have Draymond Green like impact on game flow, he could be around a long time, and as Stacy King mentioned, possible all-star in 5 years.This.

He sure is shooting like a lights out shooter. Maybe he's done the work and is already there.Point would be his best position for sticking in the NBA for a long time.

But... 100th percentile isn't a thing.

It is when you're giving 110%But... 100th percentile isn't a thing.
Remember. 90% of the game is mental. The other half is physical.
