Ayton has been the league's best at finishing layups since he was drafted.
Since he joined the Los Angeles Lakers, there have been plenty of Deandre Ayton doubters among the fanbase. It's not like Ayton didn't come to town with some of his own red flags, but one recently shared statistic is a pretty jarring example of why he'll fit so well with this team, and could serve to silence a lot of the skeptics.
According to Diggin Basketball's Iztok Franko, Ayton has been the best percentage-wise layup finisher in the NBA since he was drafted back in 2018.
