Nunn pled guilty to domestic violence charges while in college at Illinois (hit his victim in the head, pushed her to the ground and poured water on her) in 2016.  He was sentenced to counseling and probation.  Two years later, while at his new school and getting some NBA hype, he gave an interview that was lacking in contrition.  I’m going to guess he didn’t do a great job in his interviews.  So teams probably took away one of three things:

1) They believed him that he didn’t do all he was accused of and received poor legal advice in pleading guilty.

2) They didn’t believe him and stayed away because he does not seem to have learned much from the experience and is thus not worth the risk.

3) They didn’t believe him but think he’s talented and their organization is strong enough to keep him in line.

I’m totally fine with teams passing on this guy.
