Ayton wasted absolutely no time in showing his dominance in the big leagues and put up impressive numbers starting from his rookie year.
In his first two seasons, Ayton averaged 17 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.1 blocks on 57% shooting. In the Suns’ 2020-21 season, Ayton averaged 14.4 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game in the regular season.
Having entered the playoffs, Ayton played the game with slightly better form, averaging 15.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 22 games. The Suns, unfortunately, lost the series and the Championship to the Giannis-led Milwaukee Bucks after beginning the finals with a two-to-nothing lead (2-0).
Despite the challenges, Ayton will likely continue to improve and maybe once again compete for one of basketball’s most prized possessions.
