Ayton joins the Lakers, a win-win! His role is super thick, his statistics + his net worth have skyrocketed, and he has become an all-around insider!

NBA regular season, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 118-116 at home. This game is indeed not easy for the Lakers, but the most stable player on the team is definitely Ayton. He maintained perfect output in this game. He made 9 of 13 shots and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 22 points, 10 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks. He can still dominate the paint.

Since joining the Lakers, Ayton's reputation has gotten better and better. Because when he first joined, many people thought that it would be difficult for Ayton to become a stable scoring point. After all, he was still too soft before. However, after the start of the regular season, Ayton has maintained stable output in every game. According to the average data per game, Ayton has 17.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.3 blocks, and his shooting percentage is 65.7%. Such data has increased dramatically compared to last season.

Now he still has many weapons on the offensive end, especially in throwing shots, which is almost the best in the league. In addition to throwing shots, he has a soft hook and good shooting. In addition, his finishing efficiency is very high. More importantly, Ayton can also create offensive opportunities for his teammates and himself in pick-and-rolls. He and Rivers have already achieved perfect cooperation before. Coupled with his excellent blocking ability, he can also ensure the stability of rebounding. In this aspect, Ayton can also continue to provide output.

In addition to his contribution on the offensive end, Ayton is also very helpful on the defensive end. Compared with the thick eyebrow brother who has no defensive attitude while playing, Ayton continues to maintain his enthusiasm on the defensive end. This season, they have maintained pressure against Wenbanyama, Gobert, and Sabonis, and they are also very fast in assisting defense. This is a dominant performance.

After the end of this season, Ayton's contract will definitely increase dramatically. Because this year it is only 8 million. With the current performance, it will be at least 30 million. Of course, the Lakers should also give it. Indeed, he has strengthened the inside line. Ayton's statistics and role are phenomenal. This has become a win-win signing.
