Deandre Ayton has a long ways to go in his development, even though he’s averaging 15.7 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists while carrying a 61.5 true shooting percentage. The growing pains from the Suns’ first No. 1 pick in franchise history have been evident, especially on the defensive end, but it’s his unique scoring combination we are going to focus on.
It’s rare you find a 7-footer built the way Ayton is alongside a soft touch and hands that never drop a pass. He’s truly a specimen who could swing the pendulum back toward bigs, like Joel Embiid and Anthony Davis have proved as of late.
