Of all the current players on the Celtics roster the biggest mystery (to me) is Kris Dunn. I haven't heard of any medical reports, training news, his whereabouts, team status, etc.

Has anyone heard, seen or read anything about him since the trade?

FWIW: I'm posting a couple info links about him in case anyone is interested reading more about him.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with Dunn. He showed some flashes in Chicago and has some really high defensive upside. Is he healthy? Can he even get healthy if he's not? Lots of questions but this team potentially has some deep guard depth.

I think that Celtics have said nothing more about him other than announcing the trade a few weeks ago reveals their expectations of him.  Richardson got a couple of highight reels shown with his acquisition -- Dunn, just text.  Even Bruno Fernando got a quote in saying KG was his favorite player of all time.

I'm just waiting until September 15th, which is the first day he can be aggregated with other salary for a trade.

Dunn’s ability to disrupt opposing offenses is legitimate. When healthy, he’s one of the game’s best perimeter defenders. His length, athleticism and lateral movement all work so well with his instincts and defensive IQ. He can defend multiple positions effectively without skipping a beat. It would make a lot of sense to see Udoka fall in love with what he could provide for Boston’s bench.

The above is from the Forbes article.  I think is is all pretty much correct.  Dunn on the bench provides more of a defensive option to Pritchard.  I like the flexibility that this provides but I am not sure it is a luxury we can afford.

I agree.  He’s excellent in a certain role, which is why ATL gave him a big contract.  Unfortunately, he’s a question mark healthwise, and he’s a bit redundant for us.

 Just want to remind everyone not to see Dunn as just a PG. He can guard the point position,  off guard. And small forward.  Maybe even some PFs at times.

 Hes really A big player on the court.  Broader in the shoulders than Josh Richardson with almost the same wingspan.  6'10"

 If healthy I'd play Dunn over Romeo in most situations.

I’m expecting the first sighting of Kris Dunn to be with his new team, out of Boston.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Expecting would be a strong word for me, but I do think that’s what the Celtics and Dunn are both hoping for as well.
