 He'd probably be are best two guard as well.
 
 I see it like this, Thomas plays about 30 mins per game, so give Dunn 18 mpg as the back up point and let him run the team.

 Play him an additional 12 to 18 minutes at shooting guard and there is your 30 to 36 mins playing time. With his Defensive versatility you could play him at Small Forward if needed.

 Still have to trade either Smart, Bradley, or Rozier for a big, but that's what's best for the team anyway.

Yes and no.

Dunn from what I understand is a true pg. Hes not a terrific shooter, so starting him instead of AB would require starting either KO or Jerebko next to big Al or else you are gonna have a really shooting starved starting lineup. We saw this in the playoffs when AB went down (although Horfords a better shooter than Sully and Dunn is a better shooter than Smart or Turner). Ultimately Isaiah can play off ball so you can put him and Dunn in together, however it doesnt make a ton of sense. He would have to clearly be better than Bradley for that move to make sense. Because I do not see him becoming better than Bradley for at least the better part of this year and its more likely he wont pass him untill next season, I would not expect him to start at the 2.

Obviously if you trade AB that would all change.

But we didnt draft Dunn so who cares?

Most of ya'll do not realize that SL is like the D-league all star game... Dunn looks good but most of these top picks should be playing against scrubs...
