DeAndre Ayton gives the Lakers reasons to dream

Injuries, irregularity, motivation issues, lack of toughness, and defensive indifference. All of these have been limiting factors in the career of DeAndre Ayton, the number 1 draft pick who hasn't fully lived up to expectations. Now at 27, he faces an exciting career restart with the Los Angeles Lakers, where they are already thrilled with him.

There are plenty of reasons to believe in a sports resurgence for DeAndre Ayton. Whenever players like him face criticism and get stuck in the same context, their enormous virtues tend to be forgotten. Perhaps, at 27, the Bahamian may never become a defensive specialist or a fierce presence in the paint, but he can rediscover his best form, find motivation again with the goals and environment at Los Angeles Lakers, and ultimately become a true star that makes up that desired Big 3.

While many see Reaves as the Lakers' third wheel, the truth is that if DeAndre Ayton can capitalize on the many opportunities he will have thanks to LeBron and Doncic, he could put up astronomical numbers. His rebounding ability is unquestionable, he possesses very good offensive skills, and the defensive doubts arise. The Angelenos may demand that he gives his all, something he will do if he feels important in attack and gains confidence. His preseason performances have been promising, and there is already great excitement surrounding him in Los Angeles Lakers.
