Dosunmu, who’s shooting 52% from the floor and 47% from 3-point range, is averaging better than 18 points per game. All of those are career highs. The strength of the 26-year-old’s game is not only speed, but knowing how to use it effectively.

Finch’s offense has been bogged down at times by particular players trying to find their shots, and one of the goals with the acquisition of Ball this season was taking better advantage of the team’s athleticism and playing at a faster pace.

“That’s pretty much how I was introduced to the game of basketball — always quick reads, make quick decisions,” said Dosunmu, crediting his commitment to film review and center Rudy Gobert’s screening ability for his continued improvement in attacking the basket. “Being in my sixth year, you’re able to pretty much have a good scouting report and a good understanding of most of my peers. And then also just trusting my coaching staff for the game plan. Trusting my game, and then putting it all together. Clear my mind, living in my circumference, playing free. And then going out there and just performing.”

Dosunmu said he sees himself like a running back in football, using his speed first and then surveying the court for opportunities to change course or cut back.

“Just being aggressive, doing whatever it takes to get downhill. Trying to create for my teammates and create opportunities for myself,” he said. “That’s just my mindset.”
