NBA Thread 2021-2022
I think Ayo's work ethic and attitude are gonna be what gets him over the top. I see him as the guy who takes input from his coaches, molds his game to what the NBA wants from him, and does everything he can to add value. Hoping it adds up to the long and lucrative career he deserves.

yup, I stand corrected...11 seems to be a popular number...

He’s clearly a big Ayo fan
Yeah, he had always worn #10 before, but the Bulls retired that number (Bob Love), so being a big Ayo fan he chose #11.He’s clearly a big Ayo fan
We lucked out on his return...he could be playing G team/2 way this year.
Ayo not playing impactful, believe he needs structurethat the summer league lacks.
Yeah, in past games he didn't get chances to shoot. This game he really did. He had some completely open shots. I know he's under a lot of pressure. I'm really rooting for him. He just needs to make the team and get a contract. He's got to show the Bulls those flashes of brilliance, even if he needs some development.

The Bulls looked terrible today. Yao’s shot wasn’t falling, but I think he had a pretty good game. His defense was good and he made a lot of good passes. Nobody could get their shot going. I don’t like the way they play Ayo on offense. I would like to see him play more of the 1 or 2, but they won’t listen to me…
2 yr $2.48 mil guaranteed. It appears that he got the shorter contract according to the article compared to a 3 or 4 year contract they also had available for the other draft pick, Marko Simonovic.
Bulls Sign Ayo Dosunmu, Marko Simonovic
The Bulls have officially signed two second-round picks, one from 2021 and one from 2020.

Not a whole lot.
Shoot! 2 million dollars! I'd take that in a heart beat!
Sure, but in NBA terms it's chump change. In fact, it appears that if you take the league minimum for a first year player, and add the league minimum for a second year player, you get right around what Ayo is making over his two years.

Undrafted free agents and second-round picks are often recipients of minimum-salary contracts, but there are plenty of veterans who end up settling for the minimum, too.

At least I can get my Ayo Bulls jersey tee shirt now
For sure. Just still a shame he slipped out of the first round, and that the Bulls prioritized Simonovic for the longer term deal.
Makes sense from Bulls perspective. Lauri wants out and that is a position of greater need for them. 21-year old 7 footer vs. 6’5” combo guard where you have a lot of depth. 2.5M guaranteed for 2 years ain’t a bad starting place. Happy for him!
