Rookie Ayo Dosunmu has earned his starting opportunity

The Chicago native and 38th overall selection in the 2021 NBA Draft stuffed the stat sheet in his first career start this week against Denver.

Bulls coach Billy Donovan sounded almost like he was living Ayo Dosunmu's dream. And loving it for both of them.

"It's got to be an incredible experience for him growing up in Chicago and watching the Chicago Bulls and him being a fan of the game, following the game and the Chicago Bulls, and the history of the Bulls and all of a sudden here he is," Donovan was musing late Monday night after the Bulls all-hands-on-deck 109-97 win over the Denver Nuggets.
