Deandre Ayton, the Los Angeles Lakers new center, has been a mixed bag this season. Despite showing potential in games like the recent one against the Orlando Magic, where he scored twenty-one points and grabbed thirteen rebounds, his inconsistent effort has been a concern. Ayton, who was the number one overall pick, has expressed his desire to be more involved offensively, unlike Houston Rockets center Clint Capela, whose role he rejects. Despite the teams struggles, Ayton remains hopeful, believing that the Lakers can turn things around if he brings consistent energy and is kept involved in the offense.
