Ayo Dosunmu Highlights

Ayo Dosunmu Draft Profile

Strengths

While he won’t have the same usage rate in the NBA as he did in college, Ayo Dosunmu brings plenty of intangibles and effort with him to the pros. His strength and change of pace serve as his two greatest weapons when handling the ball. Dosunmu showed a sound ability to read the floor and make the right passes in college as well. He has the ability to finish at the rim and steadily improved both his shooting from both the charity stripe and beyond the arc in college. As a defender, Dosunmu has great awareness and versatility. He also has the coveted “clutch” gene in him.

Weaknesses

Perhaps Dosunmu’s biggest weakness for teams to consider is his shooting. He has a low release point and the percentages from college certainly don’t jump off the page. He also was very reliant on his right hand as a finisher. Dosunmu’s propensity to attempt risky passes was a bad habit that saw his turnover numbers swell at times.
