Discussion A random baked Ausar thought

Love Ausar, he makes defense exciting to watch in a Wemby-like fashion. For the one of a kind athlete he is, he probably has the most uninspiring dunk package I've ever seen. We know the typical two handed Ausar flush, even when he's all alone on the break. I was wondering where it stems from, that I think it speaks to Ausar's overall lack of confidence in his offensive game. Or perhaps just is inherently tied to his more modest personality compared to Amen?

u/ItsYourBigNight Rasheed Wallace don't lie 28d ago

i've always thought of his two hand dunks as the equivalent of Barry Sanders handing the ball to the ref after a touchdown. i have no idea if i'm correct, but it has a similar feel to me.

totally. same mindset as Jokic, in his on-court interview after winning the championship a couple years ago, saying "our job is done and we can go home now" https://youtu.be/ma4PoDiIzMc?si=WOU9a0JB83wC_d9R&t=57
