Suns rookie Deandre Ayton drew himself dunking on Joel Embiid

It took all of about 90 minutes on draft night in June for Sixers big man Joel Embiid to light the fire under a budding rivalry with Suns rookie Deandre Ayton.

Ayton may have stoked the flames a bit this weekend in New York at the NBA's rookie photoshoots.

While signing some rookie cards for Panini America (apparently not a delicious grilled sandwich company), Ayton went off script and drew his own.

Artistic criticism aside, the drawing depicted Ayton dunking over a player who appears to be wearing a Philadelphia No. 21 jersey.

So yeah, that's Embiid.
