    I agree with the Boylan comment, when he was running the point under hoiberg is
    when he was at his best, when boylan came he was relegated to a spot up shooter and everything ran thru Zach who is a horrible playmaker, everybody’s game took a hit except Zach’s of course since he was the focal point. Dunn tried to make it work by stepping up his defensive game, which really shined. However AK and Donavan did not think the Bulls needed him, and now injuries have done him in. Hopefully he can find a place.

    His offensive game looked so smooth. His midrange game reminded me of DWade.

    Kris Dunn played his best under Fred hoiberg. The dude was putting up 15 5 5 with like two steals a night. Then he busted his mouth, and Jim boylen was hired by the time he returned.

    Even though I don't watch college ball, I remember being excited for him and the T'Wolves (with their promising young crew) because Bill Simmons said he's supposed to be a 6'5" CP3 lol

  • @thechosenone1243
    @thechosenone1243 3 роки тому +10

    I feel like if you do his career 5 times over this is like the worst version of how he coulda turned out. He didn’t have out of the world expectations but I don’t think anybody thought he would end up being out the look so fast

    • @tingokuman

      We don't use real point guards out here on Lakers. He would be a defensive stopper like Alex Caruso. The short time he payed he's slightly better than Caruso on paper for the 2021-22 season.

    I saw Kris Dunn play in high school. He went to New London High in CT. No doubt he was much better than the kids he was going against but I never thought top 5 pick in the draft when I watched him. It’s not surprising he didn’t quite make it.

    He’s a all defense potential, I think he should have went to the heat, still could & turn his career around/ run the bench. Heat culture is defense, I classify dunn as a tempo pushing defensive minded pg

      Jaylen Brown is incredibly intelligent and works hard on/off the court. He is the best Player in the Draft. Simmons can’t shot and Ingram doesn’t commit to the Game. Both are naturally gifted - Jaylen Brown spends most of his offseason Training. Clearly the right choice at 3rd Overall Pick in 2016. 🤓🏀

    As a rookie he was going to have a difficult time developing under Thibs to start with and then getting traded to the Bulls with all the problems that franchise had was no better but I always wondered if Kris was drafted into a better situation would he have had more success…. I still hope he’ll find some success in the NBA 🤞🏽

    I think if Kris Dunn would come back, I would like to see him with the Celtics, even after the fact that they traded him. Marcus Smart and Kris Dunn would be locking down opposing backcourts. His time with my Bulls would cut short due to unlucky injuries.

    Questionable coaching and injuries really held him back. I follow his career closely as I grew up with him and hope the best for him. Every time he started to show growth he would get injured and that growth would get reset.
