Deandre Ayton’s mistake is a huge opportunity for Aron Baynes and Phoenix Suns
Deandre Ayton is likely going to be off the court until December 17th while serving his 25-game suspension. This is still a huge opportunity for Aron Baynes and the Phoenix Suns.
When Phoenix Suns General Manager James Jones acquired Aron Baynes on draft day, the expectation was never that he would start 25 games in the regular season, but that he would serve as the primary backup to Deandre Ayton and fill in only in those nights where the young star center needed a rest.
But now that Ayton is gone until the middle of December, Aron Baynes has a real opportunity to make a huge impact on a team that is desperate to build upon it’s significant offseason changes, and opening night energy.
