For the season, Phoenix scored 1.13 points per possession when Ayton shot out of a post-up or dished to a teammate who fired — 11th among 82 players with at least 50 post touches, per Second Spectrum. And that’s despite a post game that is a little predictable in some ways, and leans too far toward finesse. Ayton rarely draws fouls on post-ups, or in general; he averages only 2.4 free throw attempts per game, and often defaults to fading or spinning away from the basket. He shoots on about 80% of his post-ups that lead to the end of possessions — the second-highest shot rate among those 82 players with at least 50 post touches, behind only Marvin Bagley III, per Second Spectrum.
