The Latest Breaking News from Ayo Dosunmu

There’s no question that Dosunmu would rather be starting than his recent role of playing with the second unit, but putting in the work to fix his weaknesses will come this summer. For now, it’s about doing whatever he can to make this playoff run last as long as possible.

Throughout the first half of the season, Bulls coach Billy Donovan went with a point guard-by-committee attack late in games, with LaVine and DeMar DeRozan taking over much of the responsibility. Now that Patrick Beverley has arrived, both LaVine and DeRozan can focus on what they do best.

The addition of Patrick Beverley to the starting unit a few weeks ago, left coach Billy Donovan giving a new look to both his starting group and his bench. That means youngsters Ayo Dosunmu, Coby White, and Patrick Williams have to keep turning up the aggressiveness and energy on both…

While the former John Marshall Metropolitan High School standout would like nothing more than to stay a Bull beyond the rest of this season, he knows he can only play out the hand that he’s been dealt.

“I’m looking at ways to get better any way I can,” Dosunmu said. “That’s the type of person I am and the type of player I am. Him being here, I’m trying to pick his brain and learn as much as I can from his experience.”

Terry knew his heavy workload against the Bucks was a fluke because of all the injuries at the time, but he was still hoping for a rotation look. That all but disappeared once Patrick Beverley was added into the mix.

The break couldn't come any sooner for the struggling Bulls.

He’ll play for Deron Williams, a fellow Illinois alum who mentored Dosunmu when he was going through the predraft process in 2021. The two have maintained a strong relationship since.
