Ayton Represents Family at Draft and with New Bobblehead
Deandre Ayton was dressed to impress when the Phoenix Suns selected him first overall in the 2018 NBA Draft, but it was more than just a fashion statement for the Big Fella as he wanted to represent his family around the world.
At a first glance, Ayton’s navy blue checkered suit had a clean and simple look to it, but when unbuttoned, became much more than that. The inside of the suit jacket contained a mixed design that featured the Bohemian flag, Nigerian Flag and Jamaican flag.
“I got the suit from my tailor in New York,” Ayton said. “I just said I wanted a suit where I could represent my family. I have family in Nigeria, Jamaica and the Bahamas. He was creative just to mix it all up.”
