Deandre Ayton knows he needs to rewrite his narrative. He went from being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft to now being plagued by questions about his maturity and motor. He went from referring to himself as "Domin-Ayton" during his introductory press conference with the Portland Trail Blazers two years ago to being waived by them this summer after they negotiated a contract buyout.
