Former Arizona Wildcat Deandre Ayton is not a bust

One of the All-time greats to have played for Arizona Basketball, Deandre Ayton, was suspended 25 games for violating the NBA Drug Policy. A random drug test found traces of a diuretic in his system. As a result, he has received the suspension and some are already suggesting he is a bust, but he is far from that!

Yes, he failed a drug test for which Ayton immediately apologized to everyone for, realizing it was a bad mistake. But bad enough to be a bust, that makes no sense. What he accomplished his rookie season and the first game of the regular season for the Phoenix Suns puts him in the category of one of the greats big men in the game today.
