Deandre Ayton's 2018 NBA Draft Scouting Video | DraftExpress | ESPN 

Tyson Chandler will guide him and teach him some defense throughout the season. As a Suns fan I want Ayton! Booker, Jackson and Ayton are the future!

Thank God these Draft Express scouting videos are back somehow.

The nba after the GSW dynasty will be a complete dog fight. Lakers, suns, celtics, sixers, pacers, wizards, nets, knicks, hornets, pelicans, bulls, jazz etc. All young teams with promise and potential. The nba will be an insanely competitive league. I'm looking forward to the next 4 yrs.

It's that time in the NBA were the real future of the league comes in this and the last years draft class are crazy

The admiral 2.0

Check out our Bagley breakdown as well.. We have Bamba as well.. And Porter and Smith

He should be number 1 ... suck a freak athlete and his technical skill & impact on both sides of court are elite for sure.

Ayton looking like 1987 NBA Archive Footage.

I love draft express merging with ESPN. These vids are awesome. Y’all should do them next year as well

ESPN really bought DraftExpress smh

plz do this every year

I love ayton's game and it can only get better from here

He's almost a modern day Wilt. Not saying he'll put numbers like Wilt but he has the potential to be an unstoppable Center. I really hope he does well in the NBA.

This could go down as one of the best draft classes of all time

He is a beast suns are gonna like him alot

Embiid is not 240. He stated in an IG Post that he lost 5 pounds and was 275lbs after the injury. Meaning he usually plays at 280lbs.

Suns gotta watch this

I saw Ayton IRL at the UNLV the game and he dunks on centers

Draft is stacked. I wish puma releases tsugis for balling because of him n bagley

I’m a sixers fan so don’t hate in the comments but I just find it funny that the physical comparisons is to 2 injury prone ass bigs

This guy is going to make biggg moves, love him

This is a very in depth analysis Seeing the weaknesses of Deandre Ayton shows that he’s not the clear number 1 pick. He shows lack of effort on the defensive end and he’s limited on the post. Has great potential though. But looking at this shows that Bagley or Doncic should be number 1

He's too indecisive in fast action and too complacent in ball handling but he's solid everywhere else. Once he gets the hang of setting his mind on one defensive role and broadening his range on shot selection, he'll be All-Star material.

I really hope I’m wrong cause I want to see him succeed but I have a bad feeling about him with injures. I mean just look at the two guys he’s compared to: Greg Oden and Joel Embiid...

him and TJ Warren will be a great 1-2 punch in the front court. People don't realize how good Warren is. How many starting small forwards averaging 50% shooting?

This guy gonna be in the paint doing whatever he wants to do....he gonna be like a bigger AD 😯😯😯😯 AD/DA

Ayton + Booker + Jackson = Championship(s) “Suns” ~Suns Fan ☀️

0:30 He honestly looks like a mixture of Embiid & Oden lol

if ayton can stay healthy and transition his skill to the pro level then phoenix would be fun to watch, booker,jackson and ayton playing together would be awesome.

I didn't hear about this guy before the season started then I kept hearing about him right before the tournament so I watched him in that tournament and he didn't do anything special to me and it had me feeling like he isn't going to be that good hope that's not the case but being a number 1 pick comes with a lot of expectations

Damn he's already 261 I can't imagine a couple years of working out in the league he could b shaq with a jumper

the college 3 point line is shorter, so he doesn't have much room to close out. just need one step to close out. it won't be like that in the NBA. he'll likely need to be really good defending out on the 3 point line or he'll be unplayable in PnR defense.

Reminds me of Patrick Ewing

If I'm Ryan McDonough, I try me best to get the second pick from sacramento. Send them (miami's) #16 pick, and the 31st, plus Josh Jackson (who the kings love), Marquese Chriss, and even Troy Daniels, and get in return Bogdanovic and #2. Something tells me that the kings will accept this, or a similar package (throw another future pick perhaps). Doncic is ready to win now. That's what this kid has been doing anywhere, and in an intensity level much higher than an NBA regular season. The reason I'm suggesting this trade and not simply draft Luka at #1 is because I understand the need of picking up an embiid like player from arizona. So despite giving up Jackson, and being super young, I think that a starting five of Doncic, Booker, Bogdanovic, Bender, and Ayton can compete for a playoff spot,already next year, and perhaps even better.

Whatever team passes on Ayton will hate themselves for at least a decade. #Facts

He moves his foot really well for a 7 footer

i hope that the bulls get the chance to pick him up before anyone else does he fit perfect in our system.

I will win that money thanks to You Sir Deandre Ayton. Number one.2018.

i might be buggin but i his jumpshot kind of reminds of me boogie cousins. i know they aren't the same but when i see ayton form it just like a more smoother version of boogie's form.

The NBA is honestly full of a bunch potential Dynasties. Philly/ The Suns/ The Bucks/ Boston/ It aint gone be a easy run in about 3 years. That NBA title will be up for grabs. KD going to The Warriors changed the look of teams everybody has to be above average now

well i guess ima hop onto the suns bandwagon

I love you Mike Schmitz

Never felt such strong opposing views in a such a short amount of time

Shaq and Kobe 2.0 coming to Phoenix yall!

Welcome to PHX my g 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀✌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

DeAndre game should translate immediately except his 3 point shot that will take 1 yr or 2 he has the potential to be a great two way player ND do damage he'll give KAT some trouble in 2 yrs once he develops his post game a lil more

0:33 Not to mention they all look alike in some way 😂

As a ASU I hated having to play him. As a Suns fan we need to draft him Number one. Him, Jackson, and Booker are the future.

Future All Star

Wow his game reminds me of D Rose

Really think he has potential to be better then Embiid somewhat Patrick Ewing but not better than Shaq

I think the college atmosphere is crazy more exciting than most nba franchise. It’s Unreal.

He my 2k player if I could shoot

Took this guy over Trae young and Luka 😂

Tbh how is 2.3 blocks a game a negative?

Prime Dwight Howard with a jump shot. Beast

Definitely a top three pick imo

dayum this kid can move.

This kid is fucken jacked at 260 already lol if he gets stronger as he grows polishes his game he will be as good as cousins

Welcome to the Phoenix Suns.

I love basketball but I haven’t been interested in the draft since Kyrie, Paul George, Cousins, John Wall, griffin, Kenna walker, Kawhi Leonard, Morris twins + Dion Waiters (because they’re from Philadelphia), Anthony Davis, Austin Rivers (mixtape days lol), Ricky Rubio, Stephen Curry,James Harden, DeMar DeRozan, and Brandon Jennings

"You don't see a guy like him very often" I'm pretty sure I can name at least 3 in the NBA right now who are doing pretty good and a lot of rookies last year and the year before whose names I don't even know.

7-1 tho with soft hands an can shoot o man hes coming

I miss the old Draft express

He looks like Shaq fresh outta LSU

People who compare him to Robinson and Ewing realise that those two were some of the best defenders with unbelievably high def iq of their time, yeah? Also, they were not so much in love with their shot that they somehow forgot they were 7" and stopped attacking the rim rather than shoot a flat ball. Guy needs a lot of polishing.

Who's here after he was was the first pick?

I see David Robinson with no defense and not as hell bent on getting in the paint. Incredibly high ceiling though

If he go to shaq and get alil weight and learn to throw it around OMG

Now Thts a big man tht can keep up with guards

I could see him being like KAT. Not an elite defender but an elite guy on offense.

I don't like the fact that he plays the 4. Take pride in your physical prowess and strength. Sure it's good it's a plus to be able to shoot. But that should only be one of your wrapons not what your game is surrounxed by or based on if that makes sense. It should just be another weapon you can use as a threat that the defence has to respect not base your game around it because it takes away from what you're really good at which is dominating physically in the post obviously. Don't be a lebron my guy. As nice as that sounds. If he is surrounded by good coaches i thinkt hey can bring the best out of him. If not he will just be a shell of himself

Suns deandre ayton

He should be a no.1pick

Reminds me of David Robinson. He’s also not interested in playing defence

Reminds me of prime Al Jefferson, that's a good thing

The salt on this and Doncic's video will fill oceans.

Monster

CEILING(allstar): healthy chiseled no-defense greg oden w/ a jumpshot, aint no way this guy is 19-20yrsold, guy looks older than thon maker right now....

Suns need him

He gets off his feet so quickly for a 7'1 Center

I'm worried about his rebounds and blocks being so low in college

We will not get him but I appreciate the video - Mavs fan

He likes Dwight Howard (in his Orlando days) with a jump shot but Dwight is a better defender

So comparing him to oden and embiid is a 50/50 shot to be good or great and tbh embiid healthy is a problem too unless he stay healthy from here on out

He just gotta improve his shot and get experience at a high level so his defence improves

Hes not ewing, aldridge (*see jaren jackson) etc HE'S @DAVID ROBINSON⊙

drop the Michael Porter one

Dam his spin moves are so fluid almost Hakeem-ish...Easy #1 Pick. Defense is a lot about effort so he just needs the right motivator and teammates to improve on his only real weakness!

I can't wait

Suns need him even though he would be perfect in the Windy City

Basically a Andre Drummond with a shot

Got a very quick release for a big guy

You shouldn't put some player's stats as "Per-40" and some as-is; it gets confusing. Looking at the thumbnail for Jaren Jackson I would think he has better stats than Ayton.

Joel embiid is like 7'2

That piss poor help side made me leave the room to cool off. he still should go 1st though. too much upside

I see 10% of Shaq in him. If he just manages to unleash that 10% of potential, he can be a real force. First thing I'd to if I were him is giving the big cactus a call and work with that man.

I hope he just drop 20 pounds, that NBA season is no joke on the knees. Considering the pace of the game

Welcome home Big Guy! God Bless you going forward and stay healthy in Jesus name! You Sir are the future! We welcome you as our new Sun and look forward to providing all of the support you need to be amongst the Greats when it's all said and done! #GodIsGood

Ayton vs Embiid OUFF.
