NEWS; Ayo Dosunmu, a third-year guard for the Bulls, finishes the first half scorching hot.

Although Dosunmu has occasionally been stubborn, coach Billy Donovan understands that this comes from a good place. After all, during Donovan’s Florida Gator days, he had coached a player who was a lot like Dosunmu. Joakim Noah was his name.

Although there has been some resistance to change in the relationship with CLEVELAND, Ayo Dosunmu was informed that the stove was still burning hot.

Indeed, the Bulls guard continued to approach and make contact with it.

Following up on his career-high 29-point performance in Atlanta on Monday, Dosunmu received word from coaches and teammates that the next game should always be watched by a young player seeking consistency.

Dosunmu did not have a bad game against the Cavaliers on Wednesday; after all, 12 points is still 12 points. However, he only scored three points in the last minute as the Bulls let the lead slip away and was also responsible for three of the team’s fifteen turnovers.

A scratch on what was, for the former Morgan Park standout, a pretty strong comeback season? Not at all. However, it served as a reminder that much more polishing remained.

Thank goodness the Bulls have a hard worker.
Could he leave his prints on the game? Coach Billy Donovan commented, “We talk to our young guys a lot about that stuff,” in reference to Dosunmu’s third year thus far. “When you talk about the league’s best players, I told DeMar DeRozan this Wednesday that Ayo had a great career night (in Atlanta).” DeMar had 29 points as well, so it’s almost like, “Well, just another typical workday,” This is a result of people growing accustomed to his consistent performance over the course of his career.

“I believe that’s what these young guys need to fight for: if you play ten games, okay, you might play poorly in one or two of them, but in the other eight, you play within a box and you’re usually pretty consistent, responsible, and dependable in those circumstances.”

It was encouraging in and of itself that Dosunmu has been a recurring theme for the Bulls as they head into the break and have time to reorganize for a potential final playoff push. The former second-round pick has shown promise, but he hasn’t advanced as far as Coby White has.

Just have a look at his six games in February, when Dosunmu averaged 15.7 points per game on 5.7 attempts per game while shockingly shooting 55.9% from three-point range.

Not bad for a guy who dropped to 31.2% last season after shooting 37.6% from three as a rookie.

Peter Patton, the director of player development and shooting coach, has been beneficial for both Dosunmu and White.

“Working with Coach P has been amazing for me,” Dosunmu stated. “He has done an excellent job of helping me to comprehend my shot and determine how to use my jump shot to its fullest potential. He’s also very direct with me. He can give me tough coaching because of our relationship.

Regarding Donovan, the same holds true.

It’s no secret that Donovan treats rookies less kindly than seasoned players. At times, he has been especially harsh with Dosunmu. Perhaps as a result of having coached a player similar to him during his Florida Gator days.

someone who knows Bulls supporters well.

If you told Jo, ‘That’s hot, it’s going to burn your hand,’ you would have Joakim Noah. Donovan stated, “He will touch it anyhow because he will learn from his own experiences.” “You inform Al Horford, the former Gator, that he won’t be touching it.

“Ayo has her hand on the pot.”

which, given that it keeps pushing him to new heights, Donovan was okay with.

“There’s a positive stubbornness about him,” Donovan remarked. “There are instances when doing so puts you and your teammates in danger, but I would never want to take that away from him. Those are the experiences that teach.

“I’m okay with Ayo wanting it straight forward and directed at him in our early chats. I believe that has a greater effect on him.

And it’s okay if you burn a few fingers in the process.
