Then again, neither has the rest of the NBA.
March hasn’t exactly been kind to Ayo Dosunmu, as his minutes have dipped, his three-point shooting percentage has all but flat-lined, and he’s lost his starting job.
But what’s been the most noticeable? The former Morgan Park High School standout had some rough defensive moments. Rough enough where coach Billy Donovan has had to pull him for a better bench option.
Sure, the level of competition Dosunmu has been lined up on lately has been some of the league’s best, but according to Donovan, the best explanation was the league a simple one that happens to many impactful first-year players: Dosunmu is no longer sneaking up on anyone.
