- The Chicago Bulls selected Ayo Dosunmu with the 38th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Ayo Dosunmu has stepped up in a big way for the Bulls, being one of the best rookies in the league since becoming a starter. Dosunmu has a lot more to his game than you might've seen just yet, but he looks like he could be a perfect complementary piece alongside Zach Lavine, DeMar DeRozan, and Lonzo Ball.
In this video, I’m going to cover what Ayo Dosunmu brings to the table for this Bulls team, and at the end I’m going to talk about how he is going to play a bigger role than people think in the Bulls quest to win a championship around Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan. Ayo may not be a big star now, but he has more potential than people realize.

About halfway through the video, I said “he’s not going to be putting up double digit assists anytime” soon. Of course, he goes and drops 11 assists. I should clarify I meant that I don’t think he’s going to be averaging double digit assists anytime soon, but even now I’m start to reconsider that position. Either way, he’s been awesome!
was about to come to the comments for this
Can you please state "he wont be going for 3 rings in a row anytime soon"?
@@MMASL420 💀💀💀
Facts lol
You also said "per game" which is a great distinction. Not gonna happen when Lonzo gets back. Way to shine a light on a young talent.
Something that stood out to me was the fact that DeRozen drove the 2.5 hours through corn fields with him, down to Champaign, to be there with him when the Illini raised his jersey to the rafters. That speaks to the respect he's already earned. Maybe it speaks to DeRozen, too, but that just seems like something most 2nd rounders aren't seeing from their star teammates.
That’s a badass side story I didn’t hear. Thanks for sharing. This bulls team is the shit
Derozan is the glue. He's not "bigger than the game". He supports everybody and that makes everybody play harder. Would Pippen have been as good if he had not played with Jordan? Ayo's got great fundamentals but I don't think his ascent is as quick without Derozan.
@@tarr3653 facts
I've also noticed that when Ayo is the primary ball handler, he gets Vooch more involved than ANYONE ELSE. He's getting Vooch super easy looks.
Tom Rockhill:
*Good observation, I see that too and I'm sure Vooch loves seeing Ayo on the court.*
Probably a residual component from playing with Kofi at ILL.
Zach does that also
Absolutely
@@RobertJHeath as someone that actually watches basketball, Zach does NOT do that…
He’s a sponge. He has learnt a considerable amount from his peers already. You can see he just has insane work ethic, too. I hope we don’t let him go because he could easily be a future piece of this franchise.
Let him go? We just got him bro he’s a rookie he’ll be here.
@@mattyfresh43 what he means is loosing him before he reaches his full potential. Most commonly late draft picks don’t really reach full potential status until about 3-5 seasons in.
Its good that he's learnting lol
I look forward to when the Bulls are fully healthy. Just imagine stretches with a defensive unit of Ayo, Lonzo, Caruso and Williams. Good luck scoring on that.
Cant wait!!
We already had games with them on there they were only able to score 10 to 15 points in a quarter it was amazing 👏
His “knock” in draft evals was he was good at everything, but not great at anything. In the NBA so far, he’s been good at everything. So they got the evaluation right, the wrong part was not taking a guy so well rounded higher.
NBA really discriminates against any draftee over the age of 21.
The real reason why he was drafted so late is his age. 3 years in college will do that for nba scouts and for the life of me i dont know why.
@@kbushey21 Because if you’re a talented 19 year old you have a greater prime window
@@MustacheDLuffy also way bigger bust probibility and more developement.
@@kbushey21 Potentially but teams love that risk

100% this. He wants to win. He wants his teammates to win. He doesn’t care about himself. He was a blessing for Illinois basketball fans
This is what it means to be a good teammate. Unfortunately, it sticks out because it's not super common.
Spot on commentary. Whether or not Ayo becomes a star-caliber player, I think his floor is a starter in the NBA. Looking forward to finding out what his ceiling is.
I love I found this video after Ayo put up 15 pts and 14 ASSISTS against the Pacers. He's gonna be special 😤😤😤😤💯💯🔥🔥
"Hes not gonna drop double digit assists anytime soon"
The next week: 14 assists
He's Chicago tough, and we saw it at Morgan Park. He is a better athlete than people recognize and his ability to adapt his game is encouraging when you pair it with his defensive base. The fact that he challenges ball handlers and isn't overwhelmed by NBA speed is also impressive.
Ayo's was drafted in the right situation at the right time. Can't be sure Ayo would be this good if he didn't have Zach, Zo, DeMar, Javonte Green and Alex Caruso to learn from, but Billy Donovan's guard heavy lineups allows Ayo to expand his game beyond 1 position. Once he has a full offseason to develop a NBA body, the skies the limit for him.
It's perfect cus hes from Chicago too :)
I think he has the nba body and that is whats setting him apart from his peers right now. The more his knowledge and feel for the game grows he will get better.
Ayo is a real steal, great pickup by the Bulls and he actually plays great alongside the other Bulls guards, even Coby.
Ayo was one of my favorite players in the draft, happy to see him doing well.
Proceeds to make 10, 11, 14 assist games. Ayo has been really good and has stepped up for the team
“He won’t be dropping double digit assists any time soon”
Ayo dosunmu: “and I took that personally”
Posted this elsewhere but. I stopped watching the game after the MJ, Pip,Rodman Bulls era. Recently started watching again and as soon as I saw Ayo play I thought "There is a rough rare gem", he just moves and reads the play so well.
Don't forget his defense and leadership. He checks a lot of boxes!
Absolutely a 1st round talent, and I agree maybe even a lottery pick. So happy the bulls got him and his future is looking really bright! Also love that Demar has basically taken him under his wing and got him going back to his mid range bag he had in college.
I feel like stats don’t even show the stuff I love the most about watching this guy play. He shows no fear whatsoever in big moments
The Bulls should NEVER let go of Ayo, Coby, and Pat Will. They can be such a strong future for the team. And with all the high level vets they have around them, they can learn so much.
Well, we've seen the Bulls organization destroy some of the best teams. Let's pray for favor
who would've guessed that one of the best players in college basketball with no clear weaknesses would be a good NBA player. still can't believe he dropped to the 2nd round
At Illinois, Ayo shot lights out from the same spots on the floor in his midrange game that we see with the Bulls. It is a big part of his game. Also, he was coached hard at Illinois, which he wanted, and now is coached hard by Donovan. Ayo drinks up coaching, like a thirsty man in the desert drinks water. Who knows where his ceiling will be?
Duhon out of Duke was a 38 pick by the Bulls and had a 10 year career as a rotational player. I believe Ayo has a higher ceiling, mainly because of his 6-5 frame and reported 7 foot wingspan. What Ayo does to make the team better is a huge intangible. He is a top 8 rookie imho when you consider playmaking, defense and winning.
6'10" reach(NBA combine) but pretty good anyways.
@@tomrockhill8634
Reach and wingspan are often confused and two different metrics. Wingspan is both arms extended, a horizonal measurement. Reach is how high you touch with one arm extended while both feet are planted (vertical measurement).
I loved him since college and was higher on him than most (totally not because he has the coolest name in the league)
I'm really excited to watch him thrive
he's a hometown hero. Wish he gets a chance to play on the Bulls with D-Rose and Anthony Davis one day
Baby Jrue... Or at least as a Bulls fan I hope that pans out. Love his poise and production.
Great vid by the way
when you brought up his mid range i immediately thought of derozan who you mentioned seconds later. if he is a mid range player he is learning from one of the best ever in the league so he should only get better. ever since you made the video on bane i been following cause everyone was sleeping on bane as well. only thing i am worried about with ayo is that his team is so stacked and might not get the time to shine like how bane has. great breakdown tho!!!
Love Ayo. I am a big Illini fan so been following him for years. I know he is getting more playing time now but you had said he wont be getting double digit assists and he has been playing awesome the last 5 games and I think he is averaging double digit assists. Awesome. Great video! Thank you!
Man he just is at such a high level already. And watching him pick up on the mid range playing with Derozan SO FAST is promising for his work ethic. He is surrounded by a GREAT team. I hope Derozan gets a ring with the Bulls team, but I actually think that it could be more likely that this becomes Lavine and Ayo's team in a couple years and it could be nasty.
We can talk about the undeniable talent; the incredible pass game and vision; his great shooting percentage, but the one intangible that will push him beyond the ceiling is his heart. He has the heart of a lion and winner, bred on the courts of Chicago! I’m enjoying the ride.
Absolutely love this take, I know I’m bias because I go to illinois, but the clutch during game at illinois he was so comfortable. And honestly with him already being a good defender and learning the jumper from demar (not to mention demar is the closest playmaker to JORDON in this era) and also learning from lavine’s driving ability. If bulls keep hike they have a future all star and everybody in the state of illinois including demar knows it
I have watched this dude all through college, probably have seen him play at the stadium at least 15 times. He’s a bucket. Steal for the bulls. I was lucky enough to meet him once. I am excited for his future
He could be this generations Luol Deng, a strong defender and a solid long term 2nd-3rd scoring option depending on the lineup.
Very nice video and like the comparison with Mitchell's career. Dosunmu has a sick 6"10 wingspan (like Dejounte Murray) that will make him thrive as a defender/rebounder
The young man is a beast! Has no fear! I'm glad he fell to the Bulls!!! Great pick!!
"he´s not gonna be putting up double-digit assists per game any time soon"
1 week later he did it 2 times already lol
I appreciate your thoughts he just played point guard the whole game had 15 points and 14 rebounds two games and wrote this kid is on his way
Great player. Just getting back into watching NBA games. He is one of the most electrifying players to watch. Thanks for posting this!
What more could he have done in college to get respect? There’s nothing more he could have done.
Be 2-3 years younger. The nba draft is notorious for overlooking gems of players because they lack the “potential” of raw 18 year olds
@@undisputedchamp4317 yeah that’s insane, 20 is still young asf.
AYO is proving he can not only play at a pro level but he has stepped in for our starting PG and is holding his own along with putting up points ,rebounds ,stl blks and is also making clutch plays , how he fell to the bulls is gonna be the question for everyone else to explain , I'm grateful ! Go Bulls
thank you for this. im not even a basketball fan but im really starting to like some teams like the bulls and hes my favorite player. that line where you said hes one of the older rookies and how it benefits him really helped me, i wanted to go professional in soccer at a young age but there could be a lot of problems with that like you said with the inexperience and inconsistency
He has a great BBall IQ and his confidence is through the roof.
As an Illinois basketball fan the Bulls got one hell of a steal. My favorite part of this year is the media asking him how he got so good at playing the point so quickly when we literally won the Bob Cousy award in college
Chicago have seen a lot of hoopers make it to the NBA. Ayo Plays with that grit and grind. He’s a sponge and willing to perfect his mistakes. This kid have a very high ceiling, and him playing for the hometown Bulls makes it better. His future is definitely bright.
He’s Nigerian by heritage , he has that fire in him
i think the love that he gets from the UC crowd adds to his development. that gives him confidence for sure
I think the likely outcome is high-end rotational player/Low tier Starter like a Spencer Dinwiddie. I could see a path for him becoming a Two-way star like Jrue Holiday if absolutely everything goes right. That's a pretty big range, either way I think he'll have a long productive NBA career.
I'm pretty sure he won the Bob Cousy award last year aka the best point guard in the NCAA award. This shouldn't be a surprise. I love your videos. Keep it up
Spot on 💯%. Another reason why it's ridiculous he was still available. I honestly think scouts weren't reading his game right. He doesn't have crazy hops and it looks like he's not that fast because he plays a different game. The scouts were fooled. I think of Paul Pierce when he entered the league. He didn't wow with his athleticism but he just always seemed to get buy people and get his shot.
@@tomrockhill8634 That is an interesting perspective and a really good way to put it. I agree
@@JGRG07 👍
How the guy fell I don't know, maybe if he was 5'10" like Shariffe but the best point guard at 6'5" with long arms? He had no business going 2nd round lol. But thank God with all of our injuries we need him now!
Can't measure the will to win.right on Ayo
His attitude and work ethic are definitely mature. I think he can be an Allstar level player. Athletically, the is nothing he cannot do. He just needs to develop his basketball IQ which comes from playing with high quality veterans and coaching.
Summer League opened a lot of eyes last year. This guy proves the value of staying in college and building your game.
Go ILLINI , can't wait to see Ayo do bigger and better things
I predict he will have a ja morant type break out year within the next 2 years…. You can teach the feel of the game. He plays with confidence t
i had him picked to go late rd1/ early round 2. absolute steal by the bulls to get him last pick. when the big dogs are out for the bulls he has been a beast.
People this man Ayo IQ is through the roof
He just had a crazy good game at Indiana. He keeps surprising me and probably everyone else.
Hes a superstar to be in 2 or 3 more years,he has a never say die attitude,always hustlin doing sick.pass and vooch benefeting
I can't wait to see Ayo in yr 2.
Chi Twn we winning again. Love this young brotha, wish him nothing but success here 🤝🏽
Keep up the grind
I’m very biased as a lifelong Illini fan but Ayo has been impressive. I’ve now started to watch the NBA nightly to keep up with him. I’m glad he’s on the Bulls so I get that opportunity! He’s a great young man as well as a basketball player and I don’t think that should get overshadowed at all!
He is turning into a star player game by game. You disavowed it, but you secretly were hoping for it. You, my friend, are a steely-eyed prophet of basketball.
Yeah I agree he is better then I thought and much more to his future I’m a fan of him let’s go bulls
Ayo will be the next hometown kid us bulls fans get behind!!
just subscribed to your channel bc of this FIREE video about our rookie AYO DOSUNMU #BullsNation #SeeRed
This kid was a beast in the 4th quarter vs Orlando!!! Go bulls !!
Thanks for the Bulls Content! No one shows chi town teams any love! So great to see.
his no look passes be on point. #TheFuture
what stands out is his work ethic, idk if it’s just me I haven’t seen people talk about this but I feel he’s gained a lot more size, he’s looks way more filled out since he declared for the draft. even since the summer league, looks like he put in a lot of time in the weight room.
Double digit assist comment aged well.
Well he’s putting up double digit assists game consistently now
To us Illini fans, this is no surprise. He's a smart kid, and a hard worker.
Got to see him play quite a bit at college level, and for the life of me can't understand how he was taken after 37 other guys. I think part of it is the modern NBA's obsession with getting the youngest guys possible, but man. Just don't know what else you could want in a player
He's so smooth when he scores getting to the basket or in the mid-range. 3pt shot could use some work, but is already good enough it needs to be respected. He's clutch and has no fear trying to score or make a play if he needs to. And he also has no ego/issue deferring to a teammate. He's got handles, above-average passing ability, he's a long, smart, gritty defender. Always hustles, seems to work really hard...
I just don't get it lol, but good for the Bulls. I don't know if he'll ever be a "star" or not, but I'd bet the farm he'll have a longer career than most guys in his draft class because his floor is so high
I think his ceiling could be a Jrue Holiday if he continues to improve.
nice video, greetings from a spanish bulls fan!
I like his stat lines I had him on fantasy right when he started doing good
I love Ayo ❤🧡💙
Great Video
🗣️Ayoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Imo hes gonna soon play better than the higher drafted rookies, 1. hes in Bulls where they play winning type basketball. 2. he has lots of good hardworking vets there that can teach him a lot. Surely a player to watch out for.
been rockin w bro since illinos he a meanace
Dude is a SLICK SPICY PASSER NO ONE PASSES LIKE HIM HE HAS HIS OWN STULE
You said everything!
This great video just made me subscribe 🙌🏾
My favorite player in the league finally getting some respect ✊
Dude.. This guy is absolute fire...I have no idea why he didn't go #1
chicAYO!!🔥
9 days after this video Ayo puts up 14 assists lol
I think everything happens for a reason and he doesn’t give a fuck that he was a second round pick and instead is very happy he is on the bulls. Specifically, from the likes of how he is playing next contract man is making bread.
He just got 14 assists in his last game. He was a steal in the draft.
Thank the GM who drafted Nikola Jokic as well. Karnisovas is main reason why Bulls have roster and standings they have right now.
Ayo is already a star!!!
I believe if he continues to work on his game he'll be an all star
Great video man!
Thank you man! Always appreciate your support
if bulls can find some one or two help they will be hard to stop. such a great depth at guard spot
Ayo and Patrick Williams are the Bulls future..
Hometown fans love ayo
Ayo in practice going against Demar, Zach, Coby, Lonzo, and Caruso....this is the perfect team for his growth.
2021 Big 10 Champ!
Demar has taken him under his wing and is teaching him
