While Luka Doncic has received a lot of buzz as a potential No. 1 pick, a number of scouts within the NBA believe it will be DeAndre Ayton.

One scout said the chances of Ayton being picked first overall is approximately 95 percent.

“He’s the anomaly,” said another veteran NBA scout. “The guys in our league would get a chuckle out of [there being no consensus in the mock drafts]. Deandre Ayton is the freakiest of them all.”

Sean Miller said the most consistent feedback he’s gotten about Ayton is the rare confluence of his raw athleticism, soft touch and versatility. “It’s the combination that’s striking,” Miller said. “There’s a uniqueness to him.”

“When there’s a guy like Joel Embiid available, that’s still viewed as the rarest thing out there,” said one scout. “The most special thing.”
