When asked who's the better player, him or Ayton, Bagley didn't hesitate with his response.

"I would say myself," Bagley said. "Obviously I have confidence in my game. I love Deandre like a brother, but, I'm gonna have to go with myself. I think I'm the better player."

Since the Kings & Suns are in the same division, we'll get to see a handful of matchups between Bagley & Ayton, and then maybe we can decide for ourselves.
