Dunn reminds me of Marcus SMart, just a slightly better shooter

I can't believe that just happened.

And I know that I can't judge on one game, but Smart seemed like a much more bothersome defender than Dunn.

Dunn is way more athletic and quicker. He reminds me of a bigger Dennis Schroeder

can someone explain to me why Dunn is still in school if he's so athletic?
You hear comparisons thrown out there to Westbrook's size, quickness and explosiveness, as sort of a ceiling for him. Westbrook was a one and done, and not only that he came in and told senior Darren Collison to come off the bench.
Dunn is a redshirt junior. I understand he had some injuries his first two years, but so did Kyrie Irving. He only played 11 games and was still picked first overall.

If you have athletic skills that are far superior than most others, you'll get drafted just b/c of them. Why did it take us 3-4 years to say he's so athletic and physically talented? Was he not this athletic as a Freshman?

Last night was the first time i saw him play, and i thought he did look good. I think you can tell he's a guy that can compete at the NBA level b/c of his size and quickness. Needs to work on some things but overall i get the hype. Just don't understand why he's a 4th year college player.
Hield and Valentine don't have the athleticism he has. You can understand why they are seniors. I don't understand why Dunn is a redshirt junior.

Look how much he's improved his draft stock by coming back a 4th year (similar to Hield which everyone on this board fancies)
It's not unheard for guys, especially at smaller schools to stick around.


Lillard, Riddick, Parsons, David West, George Hill, Wes Matthews, and Draymond were all 4 year college players.

1. Westbrook was a two year player, not a one and done.
2. People did know about Dunn and they did say these things last year, he was a probable late lottery pick if he had declared last year. Instead decided to further his education and work on his game and it's paid off and now he's likely top 5. It's not uncommon for smaller schools players to do that. See curry, lillard, Middleton, isiah Thomas

Not true. He backed up Collison his freshmen year, and only became the starter after Collison was injured during his sophomore year.

I'm keeping my eyes on Sabonis. He looks real good yesterday. Definitely an underrated prospect.

Man, Dame was in the dunk contest a few years ago. Parson is one of the better athletes at his position.

Lillard has like a 40 inch very and really quick, he just wasn't explosive.

Parsons in particular was knocked for his athleticism. Compared to Luke Walton by scouts.

Lillard's biggest knock was his level of competition. Outside of that he was a fairly well rounded player.

Good read on jamal murray



Murray is an enigma to me. I have a hard time getting a beat on him.

He is probably going to struggle defensively at the next level. Almost guaranteed he will. His passing is suspect so he looks poised to be an undersized shooting guard.

Like Hield though he seems to have that competitive fire.
