Suns Squared: DeAndre Ayton

Suns Squared is back!

With the NBA season transitioning to the second half, and the Suns slowly fading in the Western Conference, many eyes are turning to the draft as the college season ramps up. Suns Squared is back to take an analytical looks at the top draft prospects.

The first prospect to break down is DeAndre Ayton.

Ayton is a 7-1 center from the Bahamas who has been lighting it up offensively for the Arizona Wildcats. Ayton is currently averaging 20.2 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game on 63% shooting. He has flashed an effective post-up game to go along with a mid-range jumper, and frequently looks a step-up offensively when compared to those around him especially other bigs, including Mohamed Bamba, the Texas center and future Suns Squared topic.
