How anyone could draw comparisons from that to Ayo is beyond me.

Nobody should compare them and if they do they will end up very upset.
He could have the best high school mixtape of all time.

Yea besides the fact that they have similar height and length there's not much of a comparison. Wall is one of the most explosive athletes out there, is a terrific ball handler, and has ridiculous court vision/sense. While Ayo does have a great first step hes not anywhere close to the athlete that Wall is so his game is much more based on his craftiness rather than speed.
You could maybe stretch and say both Ayo and Wall weren't regarded as great shooters out of HS but Ayo is definitely better than wall in that respect at this point in their careers.

The segment starting at 1:08 is just silly.
It seriously is. I don't mean to belabor the point but John Wall was the consensus #1 player in his class. If he had the option, he would have for sure gone straight to the NBA and the Clippers would have honestly had a tough choice between him and Blake Griffin. John Wall was Derrick Rose on steroids and with more size.
I love Ayo and think he'll be closer to Trent than Mark on that spectrum but seriously, before you throw out comparisons, please watch the tape.
He may be a little taller but I see so much of Schroder in Ayo and that is meant 100% as a compliment. Watch more of Schroder in the British Basketball League: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKveNAAhi6A
The ease of getting to the basket, the deceptive quickness, the strange but reliable set shot, the ability to finish below the rim but among size. Schroder was a late lottery pick and I think Ayo can be viewed similarly. What Ayo is not is the second coming of a genetic freak like John Wall.

The Gold(en) rush is on soon - standby.
I'm indifferent to whether or not we get Golden, but if we do can we please nickname him "Pony Boy" please?
Agree, these comparisons have definitely hit a wall. Can we just agree that Ayo simultaneously both compares and doesn't compare with Dennis Schrodinger?

That's just ridiculous. I was thinking of a more determined Michael Jordan.

Does Dennis have a cat?
I think Ayo is a shorter version of Magic Johnson
Is this going to turn into a thread of facts about Chuck Norris, er, Ayo Dosunmu?
Looking at film I think Ayo reminds me more of Shaq, just a bit shorter and shoots free throws a bit better.
We are in desperate need of some famous Wednesday news

After watching his highlight tape, Samba Kane reminds me of a young Hakeem Olajuwon.
Lucas is a math teacher, I believe. Loved that guy and his passion/toughness!Nice choice - my brother is friends with him these days and Lucas is still 110%
Lebron James was a decent high school player also his mix tape showed promise. Probably would have gone consensus number one out of college.
