Gonzaga Bulldogs in the NBA season preview: Orlando Magic guard Joel Ayayi

The NBA season is nearly here, and as many as 10 Gonzaga Bulldogs could suit up for various NBA squads this year, a testament to the high level recruiting and player development Mark Few's program has going on in Spokane. Today's episode is a preview of the latest Zag to sign an NBA contract, Joel Ayayi, who will reunite with Jalen Suggs on the Orlando Magic.
We discuss Ayayi's history, going from redshirt/bench player to All-WCC performer while at Gonzaga, going undrafted in 2021 and bouncing around franchises, and his newest contract in Orlando.
We also take a look at the best and worst case scenarios for Ayayi entering his second professional season with still no guarantee he'll stick around at the NBA, or even G-League, level. We also evaluate what his season might look like, how his role and production will shake out, and why it might make sense for him to look overseas if he can't find a steady foothold in the states.
