Atlanta general manager Danny Ferry didn’t make Ayon a Hawk for his scoring output, but the 29 year old proved to be an efficient scorer, if not a volume one.

Ayon only averaged 4.3 points per game this season, but he at least managed to do so while shooting 51 percent from the field. He’s far from a dynamic offensive center, but converting 52.3 percent of the time from within eight feet, means he is at least a serviceable piece on that end of the floor.
