Lots of publications and online analysts are predicting that Luka Doncic will beat out Deandre Ayton for NBA Rookie of the Year in 2018-19.

For the first time since Steve Nash, the Suns have a star who, along with Devin Booker, will help propel the Suns back onto the national stage.
But Ayton is unlikely to win the Rookie of the Year award, no matter what else happens.
