Big movement in the past few days for Ayo's draft position.
Under 26.5 now the favorite at -125
Over 26.5 is now -105
Ayo Dosunmu to the Chicago Bulls (2nd Round, 38th Pick)

Fanduel doesn't go past 20...bunch of BS. I wanted to lose more money on the NBA Draft
Spoiler: Ayo going #1 tonight 
There's something I find hard to quantify, but I've heard people say a given player plays "big". Wagner has that IMO. You watch him in the post, and assuming you slot him as a 4, he's a space hog, physically framed to put on more power, and able to move in the post. Does everything well. Not sure how he'll develop, but I can see how some have him late lottery.
Agree that the NBA is completely different from college these days --I don't really follow the NBA, but when I do watch during the playoffs, I'm a bit surprised at how different from college it's become over the years. Production is pretty far down the list, compared to gauging whether that player's game will translate. Kofi is kind of the poster child for how different the games are --a generational All America with incredible power who wasn't on many draft boards.

Ayo - predictions I've seen have ranged from #21 to #41. Anywhere in the first round would be great!!!!

I'm surprised there's been no buzz about Phoenix being interested at #29. Perhaps they want more of a pure point ready for the post-CP era, but they have a clear need for another CG that can play on and off the ball. Relying solely on Cam Payne behind CP and Book didn't cut it (and he might be gone). Would be fun to add another Illini connection to that franchise too.
No way he falls to 41. IMHO. I think the Bulls would be thrilled if he’s at 38

We couldn't have asked for a better player (and person) to bring us back to relevance.
Think Ayo already knows?

The Athletic report from yesterday about Lakers being his floor at 22 seems to be the highest outlook for Ayo I can find. ESPN's final mock has him at 32 to the Knicks, SI has him at 31. CBS Sports had him at 25, and the betting sites having him under 26.5 is probably the most accurate indicator out there.
I think the biggest question for Ayo regarding the draft is if he's figured out how to put on a hat

Lakers trading could change this
Nuggets. Oh please that would be amazing

Yea seems like they are getting close to trading that 22 pick to Washington. If that happens and the Wizards pick him I would both happy and sad as a DC native. Happy because it makes it easy to root for him and sad because the Wizards don't have the best track record of developing draft picks not named Wall or Beal.
Wizards - second choice. Only because we can go watch him often!

I would love to but I went from DC to Champaign so I would just be watching from afar.

Ayo 20th to the Hawks. "As for Ayo Dosunmu here for the Hawks, his stock seems to have risen quite a bit as he’s made his visits and worked out. His jumper has some questions to it, but he’s got a great sense for how to attack. His size in the backcourt makes him a perfect guard to either back up Trae Young or occasionally play them alongside each other. He can score. He can move the ball. He just needs to take better care of it."
