Bagley played college basketball for the Duke Blue Devils and was named a 2018 Consensus All American.

Marvin Bagley currently leads his rookie class in terms of 3-pointer percentage as he's converting half of his shots(50%) from deep. Apart from averaging 12.8 points a game, he's top five in blocks per game, rebounds per game and field goal percentage, amongst the rookie crowd.

In just his second professional game, he impressed many by dropping 19 points,8 rebounds, 3 assists as well as 3 blocks in a rout of the New Orleans Pelicans, showing that he can do it all and lead his team to a win too.

When asked who's the better player, him or Ayton, Bagley didn't hesitate with his response.

"I would say myself," Bagley said. "Obviously I have confidence in my game. I love Deandre like a brother, but, I'm gonna have to go with myself. I think I'm the better player."

Since the Kings & Suns are in the same division, we'll get to see a handful of matchups between Bagley & Ayton, and then maybe we can decide for ourselves.
