The Lakers are the best team in the Lakers' history,

Recently, critic Grant Hughes wrote an article in the Bleacher Report that he expects Ayton to play the best game of his career with the Lakers.

Grant Hughes wrote: "Getting a team's severance package and leaving can sometimes be a wake-up call for a player, and Ayton can get all the minutes he wants at center for the Lakers, and he hasn't been in a position to succeed these past few seasons, but he's only 27 years old and in his prime. So the first-round pick will likely have the best season of his career."
