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?
Nah, he’s like Wiggins. Disappointment, but not a bust.
Disappointment relative to what was expected from him but he’s not a bust
hes having a pretty solid season
He’s not a bust. He just hasn’t lived up to expectations. There’s a difference
No. Wtf lol, you can’t call a good player a bust
He’s afraid to shoot FTs. He’s a buster, that’s for sure.
People use the word bust way too liberally. I’m not a big fan but this is absurd.
Ayton is somewhere close to average for the #1 pick in the 21st century. Maybe a little bit below it, but not a lot.
Phoenix should’ve took Luka
I can see him easily having a 12+ career which is far from bust. You guys are comparing him to luka. 17/10 is great career numbers lol
it coulda been worse
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.
So happy they Suns matched the Pacers offer. Saved our franchise
James Wiseman defines the bust standard. Now ask yourself if Ayton meets that standard? But he also calls himself DOMINAYTON, and he is definitely bust by his own standard.
For the #1 pick
Has he gotten better since his 2nd season? That answers your question right there, and usually a first overall pick should be on his first team more than 5 years (unless he forces himself out)
Nah a bust is for example, Wiseman loool
