Dominance. That’s the best way to describe Deandre Ayton’s NBA Rookie season with the Phoenix Suns. Expectations were high for the seven footer out of Nassau. He didn’t carry the team into the playoffs this season, as the Suns had the second to worst record in the NBA. He did though set the foundation for great things to come for this organization in the next several years.
Ayton set many records this years. including becoming the third quickest Suns player to score 1000 points in a single season. Out of the 71 games he played, Ayton scored in double digit points in 61 of those.
