Dunn = Wade

There are a lot of obvious parallels, but the big difference is that Wade is a SG and much better shooter, whereas Dunn is a PG and projects more like John Wall (with less athleticism)

True, but Wade didn't come into the league as a good shooter at all. His first couple of years he had no jumpshot, just his ability to get to the hoop and to hit floaters.

Wade scored a lot more in college than Dunn did. 25.7 pts/40 career (2 years) vs Dunn's 16.2 pts/40 (4 years). As a freshman, Dunn wasn't anywhere remotely close to where Wade was (8.4 pts/40), then he got injured his sophomore year before being good his junior and senior years.

Dunn is athletic but not a freak like prime Wade, and he doesn't have Wade's overall scoring ability. He could still be a watered-down PG version of Wade which would be a good outcome for a #3 pick.




 +1 Tp Loco. Very well said. Nice player, but not Wade.
