Deandre Ayton Comes Back To Life
4 years agoPhoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton posted a 16-point, 16-rebound double-double in Friday's victory over the Pelicans, shooting 7-for-12 from the field and 2-for-3 at the foul line. He added a pair of assists and one block with two turnovers in 35 minutes. Ayton had been quiet ahead of Friday's matchup, averaging only 13.5 points and 8.7 rebounds in his previous four outings. He's among the league's premier rebounders, so his work on the glass has been particularly disappointing. Ayton has to bring his A-game on Saturday against Jonas Valanciunas and Memphis. The Grizzlies have demonstrated the fifth-best defense in the league against opposing centers this season, and Valanciunas is an elite rebounder.
