Since winning a championship, the Mavs haven't had the best roster, but they were still a good team in the west because of stable ownership and coaching. It's a good environment for a player. They even got Deandre Jordan hitting free throws.
That's why I don't buy into Ayton vs Doncic talk people have been pushing lately. Put Ayton in the Mavs environment and he'd look even better. Put Doncic in the Suns environment and the team would struggle the same. Doncic wouldn't help the defense. There would still be 20 point losses with a rookie coach, rookie GM, and a dysfunctional owner.
Most of the posters on Suns forums have already labeled Ayton a bust which is stupid. It's too early to tell if he is a bust.
