The fact Kris Dunn played at Providence is a bit surprising because he would’ve been a high draft pick last year, but by staying another year, Dunn is primed to be a top five selection.
“I wanted to come back, get my degree and made the NCAA tournament,” Dunn said. “I also felt like I improved my outside shot, even though it still needs work, cut down on my turnovers and became a better leader.”
In the NBA, big point guards is becoming the trendy thing and Dunn fits the mold at 6-foot-3, 205 pounds.
When examining this upcoming class, Dunn separates himself from the other point guards due to not only his size, but his overall skill set and leadership at the position.
Sure, Kentucky’s Tyler Ulis may have outperformed Dunn this season, but his size will hurt him at the next level.
Ulis’ running mate, Jamal Murray, may play point guard at the next level. However, considering he didn’t handle the ball as much because of Ulis, teams may be skeptical of his ability to run an offense at the next level.
