O Neal commented on Ayton s performance: You have to stand up. Facing a small guy, fadeaway jumpers won t work.

October 23rd: In the opening game of the NBA regular season, the Lakers lost to the Warriors 109-119.

In this game, Ayton played 34 minutes, making 5 of 7 shots, 0 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 block.

In this regard, Lakers legend O'Neal gave Ayton advice on the show today. He said: "Listen, DeAndre, I will give you this evaluation of your performance yesterday (as shown above). I need you to stand up, my Boy, you need to do three things, grab rebounds, block shots, and play Be dominant. You're playing with two great players and they're going to get mismatched opportunities. When you have a little guy guarding you in the post, it's not going to work. We need you brother, you have to step up."
