Season: 17.8 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 2.0 APG
Game: 25 points, 5 rebounds, 0 assists
Outlook: I don’t think Ayers is an NBA prospect, but I’m certain he’ll earn a nice paycheck somewhere next year. He single-handedly dissected St. John’s’ defense, scoring off the pick-and-roll, finding driving lanes, keeping his handle alive to change direction (check out his move on Chris Obekpa below), and converted difficult pull-up jumpers. The 6-5 senior scored 25 points on 9-15 shooting, including three 3-pointers.
Ayers is a little slow, seemed to get flustered handling the ball under pressure, and can’t really finish above the rim. But he performed admirably vs. St. John’s, enough to consistently check his box scores/game tape going forward.
