Yesterday, Deandre Ayton became the first starter in Lakers history to record a double-double with 0 misses and 0 turnovers. Ayton had 14pts/12reb on 7-7 FG.
Deandre Ayton is the first starter in Lakers history to record a double-double without any misses or turnovers. That’s an especially amazing franchise record given the Lakers history of centers who were walking double doubles. I’m surprised Shaq never did this.
Ayton has definitely exceeded everyone’s expectations this season. He’s played great defense as well. It’s still a bit early in the season but he’s looking like exactly what the Lakers were missing last season post-Luka trade
