All aboard the Kris Dunn bandwagon!

Sorry but Dunn will be gone. He's the perfect fit for Tom Thibs' T Wolves, I mean perfect. Long lanky athletic guard who happens to be a lock down defender. He's my #1 choice outside of the top 2, but he's gonna be gone.

they have rubio, wiggins, and lavine. what they need is a bender (or i'm just praying they take him)

Bender is the one person I could see the Wolves possibly skipping over Dunn for if he falls.

Don't think he falls that far though.

Dunn, Murray or brown for me. I'm almost positive the pick will end up being heild tho

How does Dunn fit with Holiday?

Dunn needs to the ball in his hands to be most effective, whereas I believe that Holiday can play off the ball. That's why I love the fit. Both of those guys together in the backcourt would be solid. Dunn can also learn from Jrue.

And if it doesn't work, Jrue's contract expires soon, so we move on from Jrue and let Dunn drive the ship (or tank).

On the other hand, if Demps believes that Holiday is our PG going forward, we're not taking Dunn then. I don't see him being a guy that will play off the ball. We will likely go Hield or draft one of the top forwards in that scenario

Opinions seem all over the board. I think in the short term I'd be skeptically optimistic. It would be a less developed skill wise, more amiable to coaching and more upside Evans esque player.

Kris Dunn has a better overall skill set than Evans. Evans is a stronger guard and more agile at getting to the rim, although struggles to finish and can't shoot at an efficient rate.

Dunn finishes well, can defend at a high level, and has a solid shooting stroke. He's not Hield or Jamal Murray, but he can knock down the outside shot.

That's the question. And that's why I wouldn't be surprised that even if Dunn is there, we pass on him.

Yeah, it seems like every word that comes out of the Pels camp is that AD and Jrue are the only players we really care about in the long run - that's the core. And the analytics back up that combo. I don't see them taking the ball out of Jrue's hands and handing the reins to a rookie. We need another guy who can score from the outside, especially since we're probably losing Ryno (and I don't see Gordon here long term). I think Buddy is the pick if he's there. If we get him and pick up a good SF in free agency, I'd consider picking up my season tickets again.

Honestly I don't think you can go wrong long term with any of them, but I view Hield as the biggest risk actually. College 3pt bombers typically struggle in the league, at least for the first few years, Not saying he couldn't be a contributor, and bench role player right away.

JJ redick, Adam Morrison, Jimmer, RJ Hunter, dougie buckets, Steph took several years to develop...it's not an easy transition to the league for these guys usually. It usually takes years (that we don't have) for them to develop an all around game so they can stay on the court.
