Ayton: The number of shots and scores are not important. I believe Doncic & James & Reeves

In the NBA preseason, the Lakers lost to the Suns 81-103. After the game, Ayton accepted an interview with the media.

Q: You once said that you want to show your team that on both offense and defense, you will focus more on the defensive end. I would imagine that there were moments in your life where you only took action twice and got 1 point. It's like you'll have a certain feeling. Yes, you will feel about it.

A: Yes, I will. But like I said, that's the key. So everything matters. Whether you shoot or not or not does not matter, you have Doncic, you have James and Reeves. Do you get me? You trust those organizers. If you get more than two shots, that's what the game should be. Redick believes these guys are the main ball holders of the team, and I am the big guy in the penalty area. I accept all those arrangements, and yes, playing with a great organizer like them can be hard for you not to touch the ball.

Ayton played in 17 minutes and 50 seconds in this game, made 0 of 2 shots, 1 free throw, scored 1 point, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, and made 4 mistakes.
