Is Ayton Really in MVP Company?

Lakers fans, what do you make of Jason McIntyre’s hot take? He says Deandre Ayton is “statistically in the same class” as Jokic, Giannis, AD, and Embiid—if he’s locked in. Sure, Ayton’s field goal percentage and rebounding numbers are elite, but the scoring and playmaking gap is real. Against Embiid, he’s averaged just 12.6 points and 7.9 boards. Now, with King James and Luka, Ayton’s got a shot to prove he belongs. Is this the year he silences the doubters or just more LA hype? #Sports #Basketball #LakersNation
