Did James Jones drop a bomb by mentioning Deandre Ayton as a power forward?

For the most part, the interview that James Jones gave to Lindsey Smith for the Suns podcast called ‘The Outlet’ was benign. Not many new pieces of information were offered by a guy who’s becoming more and more artful with his knowledge drops.

Jones does not lie. Not at all. But he’s pretty good at walking around the likely and the unlikely in equal parts without committing one side or the other.

On the pod, he mentioned that he sees Deandre Ayton spotting at minutes next to Aron Baynes at center, in a two-big lineup that coach Igor Kokoskov flatly refused to consider a year ago.
