At 7-foot-1, freshman Deandre Ayton stands above his peers — physically. He towers above the rest of the college basketball world athletically as well. At first glimpse, Ayton is beyond definition. He simply is so big you can’t fathom he is just 19 years old. There have been 7-footers before at Arizona, even now with senior Dusan Ristic in tow. Ayton is more than just another prototypical big man.
The stereotype is pretty standard. Centers can play defense down low, and bang with the big guys while attempting to score. Guards are slashers, shooters and dribblers who make plays.
