Deandre Ayton’s role in the Phoenix Suns’ offense has been a hot topic ever since he entered the league. He has been a consistently good offensive player, but there still seems like there’s a lot of room for him to grow. There’s been plenty of blame to go around for his stagnation on offense, both in and out of his control.
Some of it has been due to the way he has been utilized, the Suns’ team construction, and his own lack of aggression at times. Now that Bradley Beal is in the fold, it seems like Ayton’s offensive role will once again take a back seat, while an opportunity to take a leap seems as unlikely as ever.
