Jumping from Portland to the Lakers, Deandre Ayton thought he’d finally get the recognition he craved. But the LA spotlight is relentless, and every flaw—on defense, in effort, or even body language—is now front and center. Even though Ayton’s stats are solid, he’s become an easy scapegoat for a team with bigger problems than just one player. It’s wild how quickly a change of scenery can turn into a pressure cooker. Would Ayton have been better off in a smaller market, or is this just what comes with chasing the big stage? #Sports #Basketball #Lakers
