NBA Mock Draft Pick #1 — DeAndre Ayton, Center, Arizona
SBNation’s Phoenix Suns blog Bright Side of the Sun explains the pick:
The Phoenix Suns are proud to take Deandre Ayton with the #1 overall pick. Ayton is one of the biggest, most athletic players to come into the league at any time in its history, and we believe he will be able to make a difference on both ends of the floor in short order. Ayton’s personality and sheer size will make him an instant local celebrity and, along with Devin Booker and Josh Jackson, can help get the Suns back on the national stage.
The Suns considered several trade-down offers but ultimately decided that Ayton is a generational talent that cannot be passed up.
