90-95% of bad/illegal screens are the fault of the ball handler. What was Ayton supposed to do when the handler did not run the defender into him?

Yeah but all three of these (last one splits the difference) were off ball screens. So in this case, it’s 100% him telegraphing + not setting it point blank that is making it an easy clear. Off ball screen you don’t really have an excuse because your job it to make them not see it coming, as your man is half ball watching.
