Congratulations to James! No. 1 center Ayton may join the Lakers, Zijin Duncan joins Dong Zhan

According to NBA famous reporter Shams, the Lakers are expected to compete for former No. 1 center Ayton from the Trail Blazers with crowded insiders. This young and experienced star may be the answer to the Lakers' No. 5 position, and he will be the helper around James and Doncic.

Although Ayton did not perform as expected in the Suns and the Trail Blazers in several seasons, he still made it to the finals as the main center and has stabilized at 15+10 each season. So as long as the lineup is adaptable enough, Ayton can fully utilize his advantages.

With two big cores holding the ball, the least you don't have to worry about is eating cakes. Ayton has already made the basket simple scoring training next to Paul. Not only that, Ayton also has a hook and a mid-range jump shot. This also gives Ayton's offensive end a lot of room for imagination.

Ayton's defensive end has been criticized and is not as tough as other insiders. However, in the Lakers' joint defense system, Ayton's shortcomings can also be gradually resolved. It can be said that as long as Ayton is at the current center position, Ayton is expected to become the next Duncan.
