STARTING AT GUAAAAARD. FROOOOOOOM CHICAGOOOOOOO. NUMBER TWELVE. AYOOOOOOOO DOOOOOSUUUUUNMUUUUUU.
You would be hard pressed to write a better script than the one Ayo Dosunmu has experienced thus far. State champ at the high school level. One of the top high school recruits in the country. Stayed home at his state school. Returned it to prominence again. Became a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. National player of the year. Drafted by his hometown team. Named to the All-Rookie team.
And last week? Named the starting point guard of the Chicago Bulls. Fairytale-level stuff right there.
In his freshman campaign at the NBA level, Ayo was mostly asked to distribute, spot up on the wing and play lockdown defense — all of which he did at an exceptional level for a rookie.
