Ayo Dosunmu wants to be pushed. That was the first request he made to coach Billy Donovan when the former Illinois guard joined the Chicago Bulls as a rookie.
Donovan has been consistent in pushing Dosunmu since, a constant at the second-year guard’s elbow as he offers input and advice during games, practices and one-on-one film sessions.
“He just wants me to reach my full potential,” Dosunmu said. “He tells me a lot. He’s always coaching with tough love. I love that because it’s making me the best player. I want to soak up as much as possible.”
