Fans of the Phoenix Suns got a little taste of the action on All-Star Weekend Friday night, getting to see Deandre Ayton, the first overall pick in the draft, represent the team in the Rising Stars Challenge.
Deandre, being from the Bahamas, played for the World Team which lost to the USA Team in a high scoring and very fun game. Ayton didn’t log a lot of minutes as the coaches tried to get everyone in the game for a good stretch, but he fared pretty well. He shot 7 of 12 from the field and put up 15 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in 22 minutes.
