Lakers' Center Deandre Ayton Faces Criticism After Franchise Debut
The Los Angeles Lakers' 119-109 opening-night defeat to the Golden State Warriors exposed flaws in their rotation, including the performance of newly-minted starting center Deandre Ayton.
Ayton, who signed a two-year, $16.2 million contract with the Lakers, was criticized after his first regular season outing with the team.
Ayton signed a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers that includes a player option for the second year.
FanSided's Jason Reed suggested that Ayton might not make it past the first season of his contract due to his underwhelming performance.
