I think Dunn being a contender for ROY is contingent on minutes AND Minny FINALLY making the playoffs, which is a REACH!!!

This still does NOT address the FACT that Dunn is one more injury to that should from NEVER playing in the NBA!!!

Dunn is my #1 candidate for ROY yet I don't think he's going to be a great pro. I think he'll be a decent pro but not a dominating one.

He's going to benefit from getting a ton of playing time and having Wiggins and KAT on his team. Those two will allow him to benefit both offensively (since both of those guys can command double-teams) and defensively (KAT will allow Dunn to gamble a bit). Dunn's also pretty experienced so he should be able to come in and play at a strong level right off the bat. But I don't think his ceiling is as high as some other folks due to his game and his injury history.

Jaylen Brown will be an All Star in the next 5 years.

I feel like Dunn is gonna have a similar career arc to Tyreke Evans: start off hot, win ROTY and build hype, only to plateau as guys in the same draft class with higher potential begin to surpass him.

Disrupt is the wrong choice of words.  Dunn is good enough to change the dynamics of the team.  Is that a bad thing?  Not necessarily of course.

 Maybe someone else can quote the original source, but this was something that came out after the draft as an explanation as to why we didn't draft Dunn.

 I believe the word disrupted came from the Celtics Brass.

This is about right. We'd probably have to trade someone though.

But I don't think his ceiling is as high as some other folks due to his game and his injury history.

personally I wanted Brown over Dunn during draft and I still stand by it. But I get why people like him, I like him too but I thought that we needed a wing, and wings are generally very underrated in the league. But that is just my opinion. With that said, Dunn could very well still contend for ROY regardless if Minny makes playoffs or not. Michael Carter Williams won that award with the 76ers when they were tanking hard. The guard rotation doesn't seem that hard to compete for vs Boston.

I think Rubio's time in Minny might be numbered and besides him, I think the next in line is probably Lavine.

Dunn/Lavine/Wiggins/Karl Anthony Towns seems like 4 players that is very fun to build around. That team probably has better future than the 76ers.
