Arizona freshman big man Deandre Ayton is leaving early for the NBA after one season. Ayton made the announcement Wednesday. The 7-foot-1, 260-pound Ayton was named the Pac-12 player of the year after averaging 20.1 points on 61 percent shooting and 11.6 rebounds per game. The Bahamian big man has the size of a center, but the athleticism of a small forward. (Associated Press)
