The NSL Dallas Mavericks have unraveled in spectacular fashion, dropping ten straight games at the worst possible time and putting their playoff hopes on life support. What makes this collapse so jarring isn't just th...
The NSL Dallas Mavericks have clawed their way to a 30-29 record, placing them squarely in the hunt for a play-in spot in a tightly contested Western Conference. While the season has been anything but smooth, the team...
The NSL landscape shifted in a massive way this week as the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder and Gm Cake completed one of the most dramatic multi—‘player trades of the season. Dallas, searching for depth...
Surprisingly Ayton is the top rated OKC star this week and has earned a sensational POTW nomination as his team, under new gm Cake Bandito, went 3-1. Great start. Ayton averaged 23 points, 15 boards, 3 assists, 2.3 st...
The former Wizard has really come into his own in Cleveland which really stings the Washington GM but enough about me. Ayton is showing he was a top prospect and sought after player early in his career. Showing off hi...
Deandre Ayton - an enigma in the league and the NSL. Ayton had a big week - one that we should expect from him. Nearly 20 boards and 21 points per game in Week 14 marchups. His steal and block rate has been low - not...
Ayton has found himself a new home in Cleveland and both parties are loving the early returns on this trade. Ayton is on his way back to earning that DominAyton nick name as he has been a walking 19 and 14...
Deandre Ayton won Eastern Conference Player of the Week
In the wake of a disappointing season by our GMs standards (mainly due to Zion's inability to remain healthy) Toronto has shipped out all core players from our 2nd round playoff run. Our big 3 Deandre Ayton, Dejounte...
Season has officially wrapped up for the Raptors after bowing out in the 2nd round. Not sure it would have been any different had we had our franchise player in Zion, but the 1st round certainly wouldn't have been as...
Ayton was a monster in Detroit and now is a monster in Toronto where his combined average just sits him right about 20 rebounds per night. Huge. League leading. Throw in a block and nearly a steal a night and he’s a...
The season started so well, the pieces were in place, and we felt we had one of the better teams in terms of depth. However, there is still a star factor to come into play when trying to win a championship, so we felt...
A big congratulations to our young big 3 in Dejounte Murray, Deandre Ayton and Zion Williamson who will all participate in the upcoming NSL All Star game. We took a big leap going for a young big 3 and so far, it has...
DominAYTON is back for redemption in week 13, after missing out in week 12! Ayton is averaging an insane 22.6 rebounds per game since coming across to the Raptors and nearly 19ppg, on an extremely efficient 62%from th...
Ayton was a man on a mission in week 12 averaging near 30 pts and 25 rebounds, video game numbers if I ever saw them. It really is his award to lose this week, I'd be shocked if he didn't win it. Dylan has...
Continuing the theme of rim protecting big men on the count down, here comes the new arrival at the Toronto Raptors- Deandre Ayton. Another huge player who put up nearly 20 and 20 through week 11, this coming week mig...
A near 20/20 average for the week for Deandre however, he was a -4 across the week. It will be intersting to see how he goes in argubly the best situation he has been in since entering the NSL. 80% F...
Deeeeetroit Baaassketball was back in a big way in week 4 where the pistons managed to go 4-0 on the week, off the back of some stellar play from Deandre Ayton. Ayton was an insane +21.5 in week 4, he also manag...
Deandre Ayton won Western Conference Player of the Week
Another big man who showed out in week 14 was DA!! He pulled down nearly 19 boards a game and was a crazy efficient 74% from the floor. Not to mention the 3.6 shots he blocked in each contest! HUGE numbers for t...
It's definitely the year of the big man as we see countless examples on this lists and throughout the league of elite rim running bigs feasting on the boards and finishing around the rim with ease. Ayton fits this mol...
Rumblings of some different names have surfaced in Oakland over the past few days other than the usual trade candidates of superstars like Zach Lavine and DeAndre Ayton. From afar, it looks like GM Clay wants to make...
Many questioned if Ayton was worthy of the high pick, the praise and hopefulness that he will become a star player. Many of them were wrong. It seems like he has figured it out, and 2k have blessed him with some new t...
The first five weeks of the 2021 season has not gone as planned for the Golden State Warriors, but as this team knows, anything can happen in the course of a season. There are no excuses, but the schedule so far has n...
After a relatively mediocre first two seasons in the NSL, GM Titlesorbust decided it was time to make a push for some talent to help their young core of Zach Lavine and DeAndre Ayton. It took some time, but the short...
Deandre Ayton won Western Conference Player of the Week
The Dubs were a dumpster fire. An afterthought. Alleged "towel throwers." They have now won 11 of their last 14, including 3-1 in week 5 with their only loss to some guy named JMac… never heard of him. ...
Look out! The big man is not dead! Ayton finished up the week with 25 points and 22 rebounds throwing in 1.5 steals and 2.3 blocks, shooting it 72/100/88. Yep, 100% from deep! Don't think about the fact he only took 1...
The Spurs opened week 3 with their most crushing defeat of the season to date, brutal L in OT to a fired-up Golden State team. Through regulation Jimmy Butler and Kemba fought hard to keep level with the home team, fi...
With the 10th overall pick in the NSL draft, the Golden State Warriors selected Jalen Smith out of the University of Maryland. There are multiple intriguing variables about the pick, both with fit, and outright abilit...
The Golden State Warriors are climbing out of the cellar, slowly but surely. The new look starting five consisting of Zach Lavine, DeAndre Ayton and Horford are in the midst of what GM Clay thinks could be a huge...
ZEUS got the 4th spot just to lure Laddas attention on commentaries...What else you can say about a guy with a god body. 12-12 points and rebounds. Huge ROY candidate.
Deandre has been a key part of a hot team in the Eastern Conference, which is about as much as you can ask for from a rookie. Once you put the magnifying glass to his game - moving past the dominant physical presence...
Child Star Comparison: Leonardo Di Caprio Staking his claim for Rookie of the Year every week, the young star from Detroit has produced season stats of 12.2/12.6/4.6. Already securing two Rookie of the Month awards th...
Ayton is an adonis, a man that looks like he has been carved from stone by Michelangelo himself and then placed on the basketball court. Its almost unfair for a big man to be that fast, that strong and that coordinate...
Ayton went pick 3 in the NLL draft. Detroit would be in no way disappointed that he fell to them. He looks to have all the tools to be a superstar in the league. If you were in the NBA however, you might be having pic...
Best Case: A more explosive DeMarcus Cousins Worst Case: A better rebounding Brook Lopez My man comes in at number 2 here and i think a Boogie level like guy isn't too far fetched. His offense is already advanced and...
Could of gone 1st overall in the nba and nll if it wasnt for some savvy trading just before draft day. A steal at number 3 and has become a big part of the pistons present and future. Simmons and Ayton could run the l...
Went number one in the NBA but "fell" to three in NLL. Is this guy underrated? His all round polished game at such a young age is a true asset and on a team such a s the pistons this will get him playing time. He's pr...
Did Ayton just had his best week? He was magnificient two weeks ago with 15 and 14, so this week's 14 and 12 pales in comparision, but his efficiency soared, he connected on 74% of his shots and all the free throws. H...
The potential number one pick, if New Orleans didn't trade their pick away. Falling to number 3 for the Detroit Pistons im sure made the GM happy. The big guy is showcasing all his potential this season. Averaging a d...
Had his best scoring week since being drafted by the Pistons. Is not normally asked to score the ball in the team but was given an opportunity and delivered this week with just over 15ppg on 66% shooting as the third...
Detroit is looking good being the winners of 11 out of the last 12. This is in no small part due to the play of Ayton, who has lived up to his high draft slot. He's 8th in assists (a center!) and can defend quite well...
With all the talk about whether or not Ben Simmons being a point guard you have to note that it is the 7-1 rookie center, who is leading the surging Pistons in assists (as well as rebounds) per game. And wi...
Been one of the most consistent rookies. Playing really good ball on a really good team. He is going to be an absolute steal for Laddas at Pick 3. 10 and 14 are great numbers for a rook. Throw in the fact that he is a...
The 3rd overall pick for Detroit, Ayton was a man mountain in week one. A lot of faith was shown in the 20 year old to start in his debut week, and he did the team proud, averaging 14 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists an...
