Capela Responds to Ayton's Comparison Critique

After DeAndre Ayton declared "I'm not no Clint Capela!" following a feature questioning his fit with the Lakers, Capela responded with an impressive performance against the Magic. Ayton's comments came after he was asked to play a more limited role similar to Capela's style with the Rockets.

The next night, Ayton struggled with just 2 points in 23 minutes as the Lakers lost to his former team, the Suns. Meanwhile, Capela recorded 4 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 blocks in only 7 minutes of action. Capela responded to Ayton's comments on his Instagram story with laughing emojis and praise for Lakers guards, leaving little doubt about his feelings on the matter.
