Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton is a year into his tenure in the pacific northwest, but he hasn’t given the organization a ton of confidence after acquiring him via trade last October.
Bleacher Report writer Grant Hughes names Ayton as the third-most overrated player in the NBA from the last five years.
Ayton’s high-usage, “meh” efficiency profile is a lot like Vuu010deviu0107’s, except he’s nowhere near as good of a facilitator and is almost as allergic to drawing contact. Ayton’s refusal to dunk the ball or attack the rim is among the most maddening individual traits in the league.
