Illini in the Pros

Coleman stays for another year, JMO. Go NBA in your senior year typically doesn't help. Unless something major happens to prevent him from being a 2nd round pick. He is a solid 2nd rounder IMO.
Possible but not probable IMO. The Bulls probably have to trade/lose at least one of Ayo/Coby. It probably depends on 1) how easy they can re-sign them and 2) what's the salary structure after this season. But I believe Ayo will be an RFA so the Bulls can always wait and see what happens. On the other hand, Coby will be an UFA?

He wont be drafted
The Bulls are a hot mess. I expect they listen to any and all offers.
Coleman has A LOT of skills and physical mensurables that the NBA is looking for. I believe he is a 2nd round lock as well.
Crazy to think his draft status is higher than Kofi's was. Shows how much different NBA and college basketball really is right now.
You don't think 4-25 from 3-Pt range is killing it?
Along with the Hornets 7-32 (combined 11-57, 19.3%) this game between teams with a combined winning % of 36% was an advertisement for the NBA's new slogan: "82 games of Crap-tastic!!!"
Sorry to crush dreams...
Coleman is far from an NBA player. Shows no dribble drive, low 3 pt. average and unless its a dunk, doesn't take 2 pt'ers.
His ability to run up and down the court fits, but finishing is another thing with someone in the way. He needs to stay in school
and take as much NIL money as possible. Maybe with another year under his belt he might get his 3 pt average above 40%,
and develop a post game. He spends most the game on offensive standing outside the 3 pt. line waiting for a pass. I cant
believe that's his only offensive role. Makes me wonder if he has any more skills.

Coleman can defend pretty well almost any position on the floor, especially in today's NBA. The NBA is full of Colemans. He oozes potential on the offensive end too. I think he's a low risk potential high reward pick because he'd be serviceable enough for bench minutes because of his guarding versatility.
Bulls would be dumb to trade him… but.. it would fall right in line with everything this organization has been since 2013

Be a great way to lose a couple thousand sold tickets per game and piss off the local fan base big time
Bold statement.
He will be drafted.
Somewhere a bridge is missing its troll.

Would love Ayo on the Pistons. A lot of PT and with Cunningham out this year, he would get a ton of tick playing with Jaden Ivey.
Among Bulls players, guys like Caruso, Lavine, and Vuc have more trade value than Ayo at this point.
We are all crushed.
Ayo got YOKED.
I appreciate Ayo Dosunmu as much as I could without it being weird at my age and for someone I've never met, and he's already succeeded as a 2nd round pick. But his play has stagnated this year, and in NBA terms he's really just a guy. He'll play in the league for a long time and make a lot of money, but it's much more likely he bounces around the league as a role player/glue guy than it is that he sticks on the Bulls as a building block.
He is probably not building block status right now. I can see Bulls trading him but I don't see Bulls getting somebody substantially better than him by only him or packaging him with somebody not better than him. I think Bulls need to trade at least one of the big three to have a chance. It's a tought situation.
Well pretty much every player has trade interest. Deals get talked about and names get added. It's really a nonsense statement. Every nba player has some sort of value and therefore could be part of a trade.

I guess we'll find out in June. He is a great guy & love him on the team, but he isnt getting drafted unless he steps up his game. I just hope he can find a good situation for himself like Trent has where he can hone his skills and keep trying to make the Show.
