Is Deandre Ayton a bust? (alien.top)

He has career averages of 17/10, and was a critical piece on a Finals team. Yet you can't help but feel like he's been a huge disappointment relative to his draft position.

In a vacuum, meaning ignoring who he was drafted over, is Ayton a bust for a #1 pick?

Near all star isn’t really a bust. He’s overpaid and not necessarily what people want out of a number 1 pick. But he could realistically contribute on a contender and has been a good part of a finals appearance.
