Center. University of Arizona. player. 66. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. DeAndre Ayton. 1

This is as assured a selection as there has been in NBA history. The Suns know it, the press knows it, Ayton knows it, you know it, and I know it. DeAndre is coming to Phoenix. If he can learn how to be more aware on the defensive side of the court, and stay healthy, he has a chance to be Anthony Davis good. After 50+ years of never getting the first overall selection, the Suns walk away with one of the most hyped prospects in NBA history. Not all bad.
