Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Joel Ayayi was born on March 5, 2000 in Bordeaux, France. Growing up, he attended INSEP, a sports institute in Paris and played basketball for their affiliated team, Centre Federal. Ayayi averaged 11.3 points and 6.7 rebounds per game for France at the 2016 FIBA Under-16 European Championship in Poland. He also led his squad to a bronze medal at the 2018 FIBA Under-18 European Championship in Latvia, averaging 15.7 points per game. As a result, Ayayi was named to the All-Star Five. He earned All-Star Five honors again at the 2019 FIBA Under-19 Basketball World Cup in Heraklion, Greece, averaging 20.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per contest. Ayayi received college offers from Baylor, Georgia Tech and Gonzaga, eventually committing to Gonzaga in April of 2017. After redshirting what would have been his freshman season at Gonzaga, he averaged just 5.6 minutes in 23 games during his first college season. Ayayi put up 10.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game as a sophomore, and 12.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game as a junior, earning First Team All-West Coast Conference honors. He declared for the 2021 NBA Draft but was not selected, and he ultimately signed a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers in August of 2021.

Excels in starting role
GOsceola Magic   G League (Magic)
March 20, 2023
Ayayi recorded 10 points (5-5 FG, 0-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Thursday's 124-102 win over Raptors 905.
ANALYSIS
Ayayi led both teams with 11 boards en route to tallying his fourth double-double of the 2022-23 campaign versus the 905 on Thursday. The 23-year-old also entered the starting five in place of Jay Scrubb (concussion) and connected on all five of his field-goal attempts, so look for him to continue serving as both an efficient scorer as well as a glass-cleaning presence for the time being.
