Ayo with a double double!
6 rebounds to go. Time to root for OT
Huge charge taken by Malcolm Hill!!!
He looked good with the Hawks too. Hopefully he can find a place to be signed full-time

Ayo deserves to shot more. He is so hot today but didn't shot once in the last couple of minutes.
I’m so happy for Ayo. Living the dream, for his hometown team, and if he keeps this up, the man is gon’ get PAID.
Ayo has proven himself, ball gets sticky simetimes with Bulls top 3 scorers. Need to pass him the ball when he is open.

I don't even want to count Coby White. Ayo should be the 3rd choice when Lavine and Ball is out.

White's been terrific since he got back. All four of those guards are keepers.
I'm done. It doesn't get any better than a night like this. Basketball news is amazing and wonderful everywhere I look. I am beside myself with happiness for these young men. Frickin' I-L-L.
edit: spoke too soon, I flipped the scores and the Bulls lost. Reset and do it again tomorrow (um, yeah, Malcolm needs to get his first Bulls points again)!

Watched on the Celtic feed. Celtic color guy/analyst (think it was Brian Scalabrine) was very complementary about Ayo’s game. Mentioned many people had miss interpreted the Bulls drafting Ayo as just a “hometown“ pick, implying those people where clearly wrong. Also pointed out Ayo‘s efficient scoring came despite not having any plays called for him and complemented Ayo’s basketball decisions on assists a few times.
Would have rather listened to King. But it was nice to see Ayo’s NBA game getting wider recognition.

Agreed! I'm not too impressed with the NBA game, or at least the Bull's game compared to college. Often it is 1 on 3 or 4 while the rest of the team just stays out of the way. When Ayo gets the ball it is very refreshing because he looks to pass or score depending on what is best for the team. The game he played tonight was amazing!
