All the talk leading up to the 2018 NBA Draft centered around Deandre Ayton versus Luka Doncic. The Phoenix Suns had the first pick, and we all know they opted for Ayton, but there were plenty of fans that preferred Doncic. Because of that, these two players, at least in the eyes of Suns fans, will be connected to each other throughout their entire careers.
It’s impossible to say after just one game who will have a better career, but there’s no doubt Deandre Ayton outplayed Luka Doncic in their first head to head meeting.
