re: About the draft . . .

Dunn can be a fast attacking guard like Rose/Westbrook/Wall etc. You can have Buddy playing adequate defense averaging 18/2, or you can have Dunn playing good defense averaging 18/6. Is it a ton of difference? No, but it would be easier to get the scorer via trade/FA than the 2 way attacking guard, especially on a rookie contract.

I admittedly haven't watched much of Dunn but it seems a lot of the downsides to Hield could also be applied to Dunn. Sure he's more athletic and a better passer but is an inconsistent scorer and is the same age.

Also "anti Hield" is a mischaracterization based on one poster who needs to dial it back

True, don't mean to throw that on you

I do not believe any picnic tables will be broken on draft night if Hield is drafted.

I guess I'm to the point where I don't really see any player in the draft not named Simmons or Ingram that will be a #2 player to AD, so if we don't get into the lottery, take the guy that has the best chance to be a contributor and that is Hield. But I guess we should wait until the lottery before bitching about who to pick.
