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 of whom should provide the team with high-tier depth.
However, they haven’t completed all their business for the summer. Chicago still has work to do, including some internal things they need to figure out. The biggest of these situations is Ayo Dosunmu’s free agency, as the point guard is a restricted free agent and has not come to an agreement with the Bulls just 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. That being said, he’s still a solid defender who can help the Bulls with guard depth.
However, the fact that 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.
