Deandre Ayton, Blazers center, confidently stated that he has nothing to prove in the league and will continue to be a max player. This comes after a Lakers fan taunted him about 'no ice in LA'. Ayton also discussed adjusting to a rebuilding team and his injuries in an interview. TheScore questioned whether Ayton is a max player.
