NEW YORK -- Deandre Ayton was asked Wednesday to define what success in the NBA looks like to him.

"Definitely getting to my second contract; that's my success," Ayton said at media availability for top lottery picks.
Not only did he achieve that success (and being able to take care of his family back in the Bahamas), but he was great enough to secure a maximum contract as his second contract.
He's greater and more successful than he could ever have imagined!!

Doesn't even need a third contract now.

Lenderborg was gaining some momentum and probably not going to be around at 29 but a nice talent to keep on eye on.

I like Lenderborg a lot and thought he would go in the lottery. He has great court awareness and body control to go along with his shot/handles. I wonder why he decided to go back to school.

Anyway, I came here to post my bullshit take on the top picks. I'm not particularly impressed with Harper, and I don't think Flagg is mini-Luka. I think Ace Bailey will be better than either of them.

Ishbia reading that tweet:
Yaxel Lenderborg, a projected first round pick, will withdraw his name from the 2025 NBA draft and spend his final season in college at the University of Michigan, he told me and @DraftExpress. Agents Qais Haider, Ron Shade and Alex Saratsis informed the program Tuesday.
