Dunn is averaging 12.6 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 4.3 APG, 1.9 SPG on 54/41/78 shooting splits in 23.3 MPG through 7 games with us so far. We should definitely sign him to a multi-year deal after this second 10-day is up. I love what I have seen from him.
20 mpg defensive specialist off the bench. We needed that the past three years. We’ll need it shortly, because we’re arriving ahead of schedule, so lock him up.No freaking way.
Dunn has a maddeningly loose handle, is an undisciplined ball hawk of a defender and plays a super inefficient brand of basketball.
He needs the whole interior for his extended one-on-one dribbling escapades, which pushes Kessler out of rebounding position and makes Lauri stand around on the perimeter to space the floor. When it sometimes works, he looks like MJ... but most of the times it won't, and he kills the while offense.
Don't be fooled. Don't think you're smarter than the entire league. There's a reason why Dunn was a #5 pick but fell out of the league. He's a gigantic bust, one of the worst of the last 20 years.
Realistically, he's a 9th man on a good team. If you just use him for 5 to 10 minutes per game to get a different look, I'm fine with him. But as an overdribbling PG who mainly looks for his own shot? GTFO.
He's not a defensive specialist. Defensive specialists are very good at defense.20 mpg defensive specialist off the bench.
I wouldn't be adverse to this. Give him a chance to breath, get some more time with the team and see if Hardy can get him to settle a bit on defense. He's also got a useful 3 point shot. Worst case, he can be used to help match salary with a non-guaranteed deal. If dude's amenable it, then sure, why not?I'd be cool with rest of the year + nom guaranteed for next year with an end of camp cut date
Did he bang your mom or something because you have an irrational hatred of him?No freaking way.

This is the way. Then, not only do you have a developed Trent Forrest, but you get the glory of being the franchise that developed Trent Forrest. That’s priceless. Anywhere he goes in the league, anything he does… guess what? You developed that.Why would we sign this guy to a minimum deal when we could sign Trent Forrest to a minimum and see if he could develop into a player similar to but not as good as Dunn? Don’t take shortcuts!
Let's stay on topic.Is TU the same one who argued that Lauri wasn’t a shooter because he shot 30% from deep over 3-4 games?
Yes and said Vando wasn’t a good rebounder lol.Is TU the same one who argued that Lauri wasn’t a shooter because he shot 30% from deep over 3-4 games?
On defense, we acted like Royce was what Dunn is, though more people saw the light toward the end. He could stay in front of his shadow. I put most of the blame on Quin. He wasn’t always that bad.Dunn is what we were all hoping Royce might become.
