Deandre Ayton is enthusiastic about playing with Luka Dončić “Super-Ruped” on Lakers: “It looks like a video game”

Deandre Ayton has its new beginning and Los Angeles Lakers have their new great man in the foreground.

The former number 1 of the overall draft was formally introduced to Los Angeles Tuesday after signing an agreement for two years of $ 16.6 million in the free agency after its buy-out with the Portland Trail Blazer. Judging by what he said, he is more enthusiastic than what he can do with the Lakers. In particular, he can’t wait to play with Luka Dončić. From Espn:

“It looks like a video game, as someone has set it up,” said Ayton, decorated with an all black dress, at his introductory press conference. “This is an opportunity that I will not take for granted. Luka is a player once in the generation, and I am happy to be his teammate. Feeling the type of form in which he was, is super torn and I am finally happy to be on his side.”

There have been almost all out of season trailers on Dončić who was telling himself. The concerns of the Mavericks for his conditioning were one of Dallas’s main narratives following the trade that shook the NBA, and now according to what reported he dropped “significant weight”.

Ayton faced criticism in some way similar during his two seasons in Portland, even if more on his field effort than physical form. The Lakers now offer him the opportunity to demonstrate that he can be a dynamic player in a team with a path to the dispute, and Ayton has not denied that it will be a different environment, through Espn:

“I feel the lakers were the best position [for me]”, Ayton said.” They want to win a championship right now, and I want to win now and be part of a winning legacy and be with the winners. … the last two years has been just a different way to me and I just learned a lot than when I don’t win in this championship, you can be forgotten. “

With Dončić and Lebron James, Ayton will play with two of the best balls of balls of his career. He can’t wait for an experience:

“Both have an average of about nine assists during their career,” said Ayton. “They turn around [their teammates] In superstar, they make them larger than their roles, they make them very important on the floor. “

Of course, it is not entirely guaranteed that James will be there. The future of the future of Hall of Famer in Los Angeles is cloudy and there is a different possibility that the Lakers send them elsewhere to focus on the construction around Dončić.
