CHICAGO — When Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan decided to pull Ayo Dosunmu from the starting lineup last week, the second-year guard made his mindset clear — this is a challenge, not a demotion.
The move to a reserve role changes the game for Dosunmu, who now is splitting time between playing on and off the ball after transitioning to become the starting point guard for the Bulls as a rookie.
Although his role is slightly different, Dosunmu feels the change also gives him the chance to play at a different pace with the bench unit.
