THT is a player in the League, but he really needs his three point shot to improve quicker than it has.Fun fact: Talen Horton-Tucker, in his 5th NBA season, eligible for his third contract this offseason, is younger than Terrence Shannon.

Very true, and it's not just a question of banking that extra point, a player's threat to bury 3's dramatically affects the way they get guarded, which dictates their whole offensive game, especially for a guard.THT is a player in the League, but he really needs his three point shot to improve quicker than it has.
Ayo plays Atlanta tough. He gives Trae Young fits when he is in on him too.
Ayo is very rarely the longer player in an NBA context, which was part of the reason for the suspicion of him in the draft. Trae Young is a matchup where Ayo does have a length advantage, and you're gonna have a real bad night when that's the case, Ayo gets to do the stuff he was shredding the Big Ten with again.It's a great matchup for him. He's big enough to disrupt Trae's flow and quick enough to blow by Trae's "ole" defense.
Nice to see Ayo excelling. Shot well, drove and finished at the cup and made smart simple passes for easy buckets.
Listening to The Score a little while ago, they said that they had Ayo's Mom on when they were doing superbowl picks. She said that Ayo had watched his Dad never miss a day of work and picked up his work ethic from him.
Ayo started 40 times as a rookie and 51 times last year.And for the first time this deep into his career, Ayo is now in double figures averaging 10.1 points per game while shooting over 50% from the field. How soon before he starts for the Bulls?
Not for Vooch unfortunatelyBulls hired Peter Patton as shooting coach it seems to be doing wonders

Ayo started 40 times as a rookie and 51 times last year.
He's actually been coming off the bench more this year than ever, and slightly fewer minutes overall, though that has ticked up with Zach LaVine's unavailability and he's been more efficient when he has played.
Over the past couple of months he has become someone the team can rely upon as a scorer. That's a big development for him, he's been mostly an energy/defense chaos agent player to this point in his career, but his shooting is opening up the floor for him in the half court in a new way.
Anyone in the Association or anywhere else that underestimated this young man made a serious mistake.
Not only was Ayo blessed with physical skill... but he also was gifted with that special heart and drive of someone to always want to get better and improve his game and prove everyone wrong who doubted him.
Say... that seems to remind me of someone! Wasn’t there some guy who played a while back that was born with physical skills but needed to improve his game but also had the drive and passion to get better and better and prove all his doubters wrong?
And I think that guy may have had a pretty decent career, too...
And I think he may have played for the Bulls for a while!
You just can't teach or buy heart and drive like that. A gift from above.
That's right. What I should have said was PERMANENT Starter! Like for the next 10 years?
MJ’s top line is obviously orders of magnitude greater than Ayo’s top line. Not every player reaches their potential. But Ayo has the work ethic to reach his top line, as MJ did.If you're trying to compare Ayo to MJ here, I've got some oceanfront property in Mahomet I'd like to show you.

Going by the twitter comments only, the GS fans are thrilled with the move.
Who had Klay Thompson getting benched for Podz on their bingo card 2 years ago lmao
I saw MJ play in person maybe 30 times and have seen every one of his games on TV,as well as watching numerous clips/recaps over the years of his play.Anyone in the Association or anywhere else that underestimated this young man made a serious mistake.

He IS the greatest player of all time-bar none, except maybe Wilt."
Kofi unfortunately would have had a hell of an NBA career if he'd been born one decade earlier, let alone 5.That's why a guy like Kofi would have had a hell-of-an-NBA career if he played back in the 1960s).
I don't think I've watched an NBA All-Star game since the days of the Lakers-Magic/Celtics-Bird years in it's entirety...... What the NBA is nowadays is not enjoyable to me. Living in AZ I have watched some playoff games/series when the Suns were in them.... but that's about it. My basketball world revolves mostly around my Illini !! I do watch some NCAA/B1G games if they are relevant to the Illini. I also basically shut down my life during the NCAA tournament games, I really try to watch/follow every single tournament game!!I haven't watched the All Star game for years but am now and what the h is the point? Why not just have a 60 minute shooting contest? As someone who coaches young kids this is so hard to watch. I'm old but I feel like late 70's, 80's all-star games were different? Maybe I'm wrong but why even have a "game" when people don't actually compete?
