Does Deandre Ayton fear facing off against Nikola Jokic? Kendrick Perkins says "yes"

ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins dissected Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton's performance against Denver Nuggets' Nikola Jokic, scrutinizing the Suns big man for a perceived lack of fight on the court. Perkins' new ESPN segment, called "iSpy with Big Perk," featured clips that showed Ayton supposedly fearful of the former back-to-back MVP. It's hard to discredit Big Perk's harsh assessment against Ayton since Jokic was able to dominate throughout the series, improving his case against Ayton. Perkins asserted: "I see a guy whose heart is pumping kool aid in Deandre Ayton, and the one thing is that film don't lie."
