After resetting his career high, Ayo Dosunmu is looking forward to accomplishing bigger things

Remain in attack mode

There is little question about Dosunmu’s best weapon: his incredible speed. He uses it to push the ball up the court and blow past defenders. But Dosunmu knows he can’t rely on his speed alone to succeed in the NBA. He understands the importance of staying in attack mode and constantly improving his skills.

“I always try to be in attack mode,” Dosunmu explained.

“That’s the growth in my game. Not playing timid, always attacking whether I keep the dribble or kick out or attack or try to get Vooch a shot. Always be in attack mode. That’s the most dangerous player to guard, someone who’s always in attack mode. Not just for the setup, but also to create. That’s something I try to hone in on.”

Dosunmu’s overall numbers indicate that he’s averaging a career-high 11.2 points per game this season. However, there’s more to it than meets the eye: Since January 13, Dosunmu has averaged 15.6 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per game, shooting 51 percent from the field and 43 percent from long distance. With injuries to key Bulls putting much more on his plate, Dosunmu is proving he can handle the pressure and step up when needed.
