Pierce: Ayton averages double-double but is always abandoned by the team. He must think about his own problems seriously

July 4th News Today, NBA legend Pierce talked about Ayton joining the Lakers in the show "Speak".

Pearce said: "I think in this situation, Ayton must think about his own problems seriously, because in this league, you won't have too many opportunities. Once you start hearing some rumors about him off the court, although it's not a particularly serious matter, for example, he makes the coach uncomfortable, doesn't get along well with his teammates, etc., it means that the problem is coming. At this stage, it may be his best opportunity to go to a team culture with James, Redick and Doncic, so that he can really learn how to become a professional player. Because this kid is talented, it has nothing to do with anything else. He just needs a better structure and system , to guide him in what to do in daily life. And LeBron and they can help him like this."

Then Pierce said, "You see, he averaged 15 points and 10 rebounds per game. That's great statistics, and it's very competitive everywhere. But you'll think: 'Why can't he stay in other teams? 'That's the other things that work. Does he report on time every day? Did he listen to scout reports carefully? Do he have friends on the team? I don't know. But now we are talking about his personality and attitude. So I hope he can change these problems in such an environment full of wisdom and experience."
