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?

Man, two years ago they were calling him Baby Shaq lol. Absolutely balled and helped carry the Suns to a Finals appearance.

His motor is questionable, but his biggest issue has been playing on bad teams with a bunch of dudes who hog the ball and can't pass lol. Not a coincidence he blossomed next to Chris Paul.

He'll never be an all-NBA guy, but in the right situation, he could be a key piece on a championship, similar to Wiggins.
