Despite not landing any stars in free agency or at the draft, the Chicago Bulls have been very active this offseason. They brought back Nikola Vucevic and Coby White on new deals, and they signed two solid free agents, Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig. Both should provide the team with high-level depth.
However, they haven’t completed all of their business for the summer. The biggest outstanding situation is Ayo Dosunmu‘s free agency; the point guard is a restricted free agent and hasn’t come to an agreement with the Bulls yet.
According to Eric Mullin of Yahoo Sports, Dosunmu is one of the best free agents left on the market.
“The Bulls have re-signed Coby White and brought in Jevon Carter so far, but fellow guard Dosunmu remains on the market,” Mullin wrote. “The 2021-22 second-team All-Rookie selection averaged 8.6 points in 26.2 minutes per game last season, shooting 49.3% from the field. The 23-year-old’s 3-point percentage dipped from 37.6% to 31.2% in Year 2.”
Dosunmu had a solid rookie year during the 2021-22 season but failed to capitalize on it by making significant improvements this past season. He’s still a solid defender who can help the Bulls with guard depth.
However, the fact we haven’t heard anything about Dosunmu’s free agency is quite odd. If another team hands him an offer sheet, would the Bulls match it? At this point, that’s a serious question that needs to be asked.
