The Lakers received a bunch of criticism from all corners of the Internet (even the weird parts where they don’t speak English) for choosing Ivica Zubac over Thomas Bryant when the decision had to be made this offseason.

Deandre Ayton 26 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (12/23/2018)
If Deandre Ayton wants to win ROY of the Year, he has to start building his narrative NOW, to compete with Luka Doncic’s already mature and fully-formed narrative.
