REPORT: Bulls bringing back Ayo Dosunmu

According to reports, Dosunmu is signing a 3-year, $21 million offer.
The underperforming Bulls already have a boatload of guards, and they added Jevon Carter from the Bucks when negotiations started in early July.
Dosunmu was a restricted free agent this summer.
After exceeding expectations during his rookie season in 2021-22, Dosunmu took a step back in his second year with the Bulls. Even though he played in 80 games (51 starts), he only averaged 8.6 points, 2.6 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game — all nearly identical from his breakout first season. Basically, there wasn’t a step forward.
