On Friday night, Suns rookie Deandre Ayton had himself a game. He posted 23 points, 12 rebounds, 3 steals and a blocked shot.
When he was on the court against the two-time defending world champs, the Suns were plus-3 on the scoreboard in a game they lost by 10. He attacked All-Star DeMarcus Cousins relentlessly, and you’ve got to see his full court steal and finish. It was glorious.
That’s a 20 year old rookie against the world champs, folks.
People nitpick Ayton’s game, his hustle, and his ultimate ceiling.
