Although it was a tough loss for the Suns against the Lakers on Wednesday, Deandre Ayton continued to show why he was selected first overall.
The rookie notched his third double-double in just his fourth career game as he one again filled the stat sheet while battling in the paint. Ayton scored a career-high 22 points to go along with 11 rebounds, three steals and three blocks.
The Big Fella not only shined in front of the Phoenix fans, but also impressed the four-time MVP on the other side of the court.
“I think that he has a lot of talent,” Lakers’ LeBron James said.
