Hey all, non bulls fan here. Why does no one talk about how damn good Ayo Dosunmu is? He is shooting 55% FG, 46% from three and 90% from the line on 15 ppg while only being paid 7 million a year. It seems like any time I bring him up in an NBA discussion people don't know he's one of the most underrated ballers in the league.

Incredible ball player. The only thing more underrated about him is his skincare routine
He’s been improving every year, great boost from the bench!
In our house we talk about it every game day! (Illinois fans reporting…)
Those are 6MOY numbers.
Ayo is by far the most underrated Bull. He was getting a lot of love his rookie year and then had a really bad sophomore slump which took him out of any conversation. Since then he’s make steady progress ever since. So it’s normal for him to fly under the radar. He’s a glue guy as well and those get less talk because they’re doing the dirty work that doesn’t show up on the stat sheet. The team is much worse without him on the floor.
Hope he’s a Bull for life. ILL
Re-sign him asap!
And the 14 millionth point in NBA history the other night
Our demon is in the 50/40/90 club 🥹
Ayo and Coby this offseason is gonna break hearts
lock him up (to a long term extension)
He had his ups and downs before which kept him under the radar from rest of the NBA but he is an amazing 6th man, I don’t know if its local boy energy playing for their childhood team but I believe we should definitely re-sign him.
He is a pro. Will be in the league for a long time,
He’s ridiculously efficient too. 6th man of the year incoming if the bulls win 48 games

Dude is killin it out there
We do talk about him. He’s just buried on the bench and doesn’t make big numbers to get national attention.
Making almost the same jump Coby did. He’s been great this season
Contract year, but props to him for maximizing his efficiency when he’s out there.
Hopefully we can afford him. Someone is going to overpay.
I’ve been saying that the Bulls need to keep him over Coby. Let Coby get his $30mil+ somewhere else. We can probably pay Ayo $15-20mil/yr and get largely the same production with better defense and versatility.
Extend this gentleman at once AK!
Sad to say, keep Ayo trade Coby. No way they are paying both.
These type of players help you so much.
Ayo > Coby
The amount of people in here saying pay Ayo and let Coby walk is insane.
Ayo is a bench combo guard. He is not a starter at the 1 or 2 in this league and never will be on a good team.
This team is already locked in for playing PWill $18M a year as a bench player.
Overpaying bench players is how you ruin your team
You’re right he is underrated. Great as a 6 off the bench, and at this efficiency easily a starter. This Ayo is not a mirage, although I’m sure the 3pt will come down. I followed Ayo this off-season — he significantly figured out his training and nutrition.
So glad we never traded him. Hes the perfect player you need on a winning team
He was a stud in college and led the #1 team in the country. Glad to see him succeeding in his home town
Very impressive and dosumnu is playing great for us, but statmuse is wrong.
Assuming dosumnu finishes with a 50/40/90 split, it would be one of the lowest scoring seasons of players in the 50/40/90 club.
Dude is only gonna get better. Total joke that he fell to the 2nd round in the draft
I need to fill out one of those apology forms for Ayo. Been following him since Illinois and have always liked him & rooted for him, but absolutely did not see this leap coming, and that’s on me. The vibe I get is that he’s been working his ass off. Respect
Prince. Bulls need to lock him down long term.
40 is really underselling 46
He’s been one of my favorite Bulls players since his rookie year. My phone background is a shot of him posterizing Antetokumpo a couple of years back, lol.
Overall solid player. Not a star yet, but he doesn’t need to be to have my respect!
