Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton has been no stranger to criticism throughout his NBA career. However, despite rumors of potential trades and questions surrounding his long-term future with the team, new head coach Frank Vogel expressed his confidence in Ayton during his introductory press conference.
Vogel, who newly joined the Suns coaching staff, spoke highly of Ayton’s abilities and potential impact on both ends of the court. “I think he can be one of the best centers in the league,” Vogel stated. “He can be a big time deterrent. There’s still areas that he can grow offensively. But I’m intent on really connecting with him and restoring him to an all star level player.”
The Suns’ new head coach acknowledged that Ayton still has room to grow offensively but emphasized his intention to work closely with him to help restore him to an All-Star level player. Vogel also highlighted Ayton’s importance within his defensive scheme, known for its toughness and emphasis on elite rim protection.
“I think it starts with the big fella. I’ve always had elite rim protectors, and you can get the job done without that, but boy when you got a guy like that in front of the basket deterring everything that comes to the rim. You just get stronger in everything”
