There’s a sliding scale from David Robinson to Michael Olowokandi. Everyone on that scale has astounding physical attributes, but the Robinson end is optimal mentality and the Olowokandi end is “I happen to be tall - how can I monetize this”. Ayton is on that scale, sadly nearer the Olowokandi end than the Robinson end.
