Ayo Dosunmu (PG, CHI): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues

ANALYSIS: We're just hours removed from the very awful news that Lonzo Ball's missing the next four-to-six weeks with a left meniscus injury... only to witness Grayson Allen grabbing and launching Alex Caruso to the ground with a very reckless defensive move on Friday. Caruso seems to have sustained no injury, but we'll see how that goes. In any case, Ayo Dosunmu has been fantastic for the Bulls recently even with Coby White starting games and Caruso back on the lineup.

Ayo has started the four games the Bulls played in the past week, from last Saturday through Friday. He's logged an absolutely stunning 40-38-39-40 minutes in those, and barring his dud against Milwaukee on Friday he's been clearly sublime. Just peep the average line: 15-5-7-2 per game on 39 MGP. Of course, it'd be just ridiculous to expect this type of production to stay there ROS, even less with some bodies getting back warm (Caruso now, Lonzo later) limiting the minutes Dosunmu will enjoy going forward. But the efficiency has been great and we have to bank on that staying up.

Dosunmu has averaged an above-average 0.95 DKFP per game in the past four games, and although he cratered to a 0.54 figure against the Bucks (22% shooting, 5-6-6-1 line though) he has been at 0.99+ in the other three games played in that span. The shooting from the field is absolutely incredible (though on very low volume) at a massive 54% on the season. Other than that, the assists have good, the rebounds low but steady, and the steals' upside is something to really consider when looking at Ayo.
