Ayo Dosunmu seeks challenges with the Chicago Bulls while adapting to starting at point guard: ‘I want to soak up as much as possible’

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.”
