Dunn has Westbrook like qualities with his athleticism, ability to drive in the paint, and frame. Hes just a poorer version. Dunn also plays with a lot of energy. My comparisons are Wall/Westbrook/Schroeder. He'll probably be a player similiar to what Schroeder is now

Where are people getting these stupid John Wall comparisons for Dunn?


For one there's this interview of Dunn at the combine from a current Pels beat writer who was a former UK beat writer when Wall was there.

quote:

Though Dunn isn’t a high-level shooter — a he made only 73 3-pointers in his Providence career, including a career-high 42 as a junior — he’s dangerous offensively as a slasher and passer.

That’s perhaps why Dunn — who averaged 16.4 points, 6.2 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game this season at Providence — has drawn comparisons to the Washington Wizards’ John Wall.

Dunn hears that a lot, and he’s “starting to see it more and more.”

“We’re both fast,” Dunn said. “We both can attack at the rim. That’s one of our greatest strengths. And we can get people involved. That’s what I like to do. I like to get people… good shots. And John Wall, he’s not a bad defender. He definitely works hard on the defensive end, and that’s one of my strengths.”


Dawson apparently sees it if he asked the question, and Dunn seemed to agree. Maybe the comparison isn't as stupid as you seem to think it is.

No he's not.

Murray is 6"4, Hield 6"5. Hield has a 3 inch longer wingspan and 4 inch longer standing reach too.

Heild reminds me of Nic Young for the Wizards, before he sold out and became Swaggy P

That's exactly why I choose Murray over Heild


Because of height or age? They are basically the same height. As far as age, who really cares if he is 19 or 22? Are you really concerned right now about his longevity in the NBA when he's 35?

Murray could improve due to his age and lack of experience, but Buddy has improved every year he's played so the same argument can be made for him.

Again, Murray isnt taller. Not sure where that assumption came from. Hield is an inch taller, 3 inch longer wingspan and 4 inch longer standing reach.

Its not a huge difference but it is the difference between being an average sized SG and an undersized one.

Relax. I've looked at a bunch of different sites and many of them are different. All have them both at 6'5 or 6'6.

I think that the nba player comparisons rarely tell you much, especially because they vary greatly.

Jaylen Brown seems like the best athletic prospect that we will have a shot at picking. However, there are a few issues, he is very raw, but also his immaturity. He has been described as being intelligent, yet arrogant during the media day of the combine. It would be a big gamble taking him.

Kriss Dunn seems like he could be a very good point guard in the league and would mesh well with Davis.

Not a big Murray fan, his jump shot mechanics are good, except his low release point. Needs A LOT of development.

Hield screams of really good college player but game doesn't translate to the next level. I could be wrong though.

Murray didn't go to the combine, so I'm not sure if his official height is known, but most places have both guys at 6-5 in shoes. Hield is longer, though.

Dunn is my guy but he's not the same level of athlete. He is quick but not near as fast end-to-end as Wall. Still think he's a good fit for us. Wouldn't hate Hield or Brown either.
