Walt Frazier joined forces with probable No. 1 Deandre Ayton Monday at a pop-up shop across the street from Barclays Center — site of Thursday’s Draft.
A new run of Puma Clyde sneakers are back and the sneaker company, in its bid to plunge back into basketball, has added the versatile center as its top endorser.
The University of Arizona one-and-doner is expected to be selected No. 1 by the Suns. While Frazier interviewed Ayton on stage during a ceremony and told him to carry on the Puma tradition for another 40 years, the Knicks legend later told The Post he still believes 7-foot-3 Kristaps Porzingis should have the more noteworthy career.
