Chris Paul led the Suns to the playoffs. Now, they’re carrying him over the top.

Of Ayton, Paul said: “To see his growth, man, I get goose bumps. Seriously, man. We had some heated conversations this season, especially earlier in the season, but, man, I genuinely love him. The person that he is and to see everything that’s coming to him, national audience, getting to see who he is and why he’s the No. 1 pick, I couldn’t be happier for him.”
