If there is guard turnover I'd be torn between Jamal Murray and Dunn.

Murray better game manager I'm guessing, and also big.  Dunn more explosive.

I read that twice this year Dunn has put up numbers that haven't been seen in 4 and 5 years respectively.  His size is tantalizing.  Don't know but he seems like someone Danny would really like...

I went and checked out Kris Dunn and the Friars down at the Dunk last week.

I came away impressed.

Interested to hear your observations. Form on 3 point shot? Still as erratic at times as some suggest?

I'm big on him as a prospect, maybe even beyond Jamal Murray who has looked really good (more of a hybrid, maybe). Think I proposed moving Smart for Dunn a while ago, probably at a moment of frustration. Size, talent, and motor are impressive though. And we gotta draft a guard...

That's my dilemma too.  I'd probably go with Murray because he's 3 years younger.  Imagine how much better he could be in three more years.  Another factor is team fit.  Dunn is in a great situation at Providence.  He gets to run the show.  Murray is the 3rd PG in Kentucky's starting lineup.  He doesn't get to handle the ball as much as he should. 

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if Ainge took Dunn over Murray.  He's more of a pure PG and he's probably more ready to contribute immediately.

 3.5 steals per game for Dunn, on top of being a triple double every night. That's really, really impressive.

I saw them play a lousy Hartford team, and honestly, it looked a lot like an exhibition game.  Kris Dunn was clearly the most athletic and talented player on the court.  What I really liked the most about him, though, was his court vision and passing ability.  He always seemed to be looking for open guys and finding them.

He also looked like a leader out there.  He was constantly engaged with and talking to his teammates.

As far as the three point shot goes, I don't remember him taking a lot of them in that game.  I'm sure his jumper still needs work.

I'm a fan of Kris Dunn, but I hope we draft someone better than him with our first pick.

If the C's did draft him, I think he would take Evan Turner's spot. This year Turner has played a lot as the back up pg when Smart is out. Dunn would battle Rozier for minutes as the 3rd string pg. I also think they would go small a lot with Smart at the 3.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

Dunn is basically a better version of Terry Rozier. Athletic, best defensively, with a questionable jump shot and a slashing game. I hope we draft someone else.

Except he's big... sized to actually play in the NBA as opposed to [insert European country].

Who would you choose over him, for example, with pick #7?
