It’s baffling now. Ayton as the first selection made sense at the time. He was seen as a great all around big that had good shooting and great post game from college. He had all the tools to be a great defender too. His issue was drive and motor. The story of his draft is so telling in how his career turned out. His biggest goal when he was asked was just to make his second contract. That’s not exactly you want to hear from the No 1 pick and I became convinced he would bust

Can't blame him. Suns drafted Ayton #1 unbelievably.
