If Dunn is BPA with our Nets pick, should we take him

[loco_91]

Yes, take him. Then we have four good guards, which is slightly crowded but not too bad, especially if Smart spends some time at the 3. I think Dunn fits next to any of our other guards, so it's not a problem in that respect either.

Basically, it's rare that you don't draft BPA at that spot in the draft. The only time that you don't is when it's really close in terms of talent and there's a big difference in terms of fit. Neither is the case here.

[sofutomygaha]

Definitely shop the pick but I'm guessing we would draft Poeltl in this situation

[CFAN38]

My guess the top 10 picks go

Simmons
Ingram
Bender
Ellenson
Poetlt
Brown
Dunn
Hield
Labissiere
Rabb

I expect that the Cs will shop the pick really hard if its not a top 3 pick. If the Cs end up at 6 or 7 and cant move the pick for a solid value and Dunn is the BPA I don't think DA would be scared to draft him but it is fare from an ideal situation. Ultimately I think DA finds a way to move the pick if its Dunn. One likely destination would be Philly. If the 76ers land a top 2 pick and take Simmons or Ingram they would likely be opening to making a move for Dunn this could be a logical way for the Cs to get Noel.

This would almost make to much sense for the 76ers
 
2016/17 starters

C  Okafor
PF Saric
SF Simmons / Ingram
SG FA?
PG Dunn

If I am them I may even try to move Embiid on draft night for Hield. Risky move but the fit looks perfect.

[TA9]

Obviously if he's the BPA then he's the one to pick. I would like Rozier gone if that's the case though, as we would have too many PG with Dunn on this team.

 Say we get the sixth pick in the draft

 The Draft goes

 Simmons
 Ingram
 Jaylen Brown
 Bender
 Buddy Hield

 And now its the Celtics pick and Kris's Dunn is sitting there as the best player available. Do you take Dunn who's basically Rajon Rondo on steroids.
 Which means he can't really shoot, but Dunn does seem to hit them when he needs to, and his game is clutch, even if its making passes or steals or key three's, but overall he's not really the agrresive scorer I thought he'd be.

 Still tons of Big names on the board.

 Jakob Poeltl
 Ivan Rabb
 Henry Ellenson
 Skal Labissiere
 Diamond Stone
 Jamal Murray

 Danny's choice of those big guys would be a great addition IMHO. Where as Dunn just seems so ReDunndent get it..

At that point I would draft Skal if I can't package that pick.  I don't want to draft over Smart and then not be able to develop both him and Dunn.

I've gotta think Skal would flourish in a Brad Stevens environment. Cal seems to be absolutely the wrong guy for him.

I don't see us at 6 with that pick.  worst case is #5. 

that aside, take BPA and worry about the rest later.  if it's Dunn, take him.  He'd likely be a better prospect than Rozier, would allow us to move on from Turner as a ballhandler and eventually move on from IT too where IT could just focus on scoring (not sure if he can survive without the ball in his hands though). 

now having said THAT, if it was me and Dunn was the clear BPA at that pick, I'd look to trade the pick to a team that needs a PG to acquire either another young prospect and future pick OR a solid vet who's a borderline all-star that fills a need on the team (center or SF). 

[Moranis]

Yes.

I don't get the reference to Rondo. Dunn's TS% is 54% the last two years, which is better than the NBA average, and he shot 35% and 37% from beyond the arc. He's been pretty clutch from what I've seen too.

Rondo's  career TS% is 50% and his career 3FG% is 27%.

At Kentucky Rondo's TS% was 53.6% (he was 55% as a freshman and 52.6% as a sophomore).  He wasn't a great outside shooter at 28.3%, but his TS% is definitely in line with Dunn's. 

[Evantime34]

Idk, Rondo's biggest knock coming out was not being able to shoot. Since he's shooting 37% from 3 on 3.5 attempts per game I don't think that will be the knock on him when he comes out (it will be his age)

[wiley]

I would take Dunn.  We may need to trade one or two of our beloved guards for a center
or more studly PF. 

Dunn has good size.  More of a PG than Rozier and if Rozier keeps shooting well he could get minutes at SG next to a big guard like Dunn or Smart.  Rozier has the body and wingspan to handle SG. 

Still a ways off but trades for bigs could remove Hunter and Young and two of Rozier, IT, Smart and Bradley, not to mention ET.

I'm hoping Hunter gets stronger and turns into a nice backup SF.

Age and carelessness with the ball. Little too aggressive at times defensively on a thin team that can't afford to have him in foul trouble. Needs to improve his FT% too, but that seems doable and he's much better than Rondo.

Much more creative shooter than Rondo and more clutch. Regularly willing to create and take the shot. Much taller too, I wrote something longer comparing their games and didn't see that much similar and I've seen a lot relatively of Dunn.

When I think of Rondo, I think Elfrid Payton not Dunn. Seen/heard comparisons of Dunn to Wall and Wade and they both seem strained too,

[aefgogreen]

Agreed - shot blocking 7 footers are worth taking chances on

TP to you!

Would I draft Kris?

No, already seen it and DUNN it!!   

[Celtics18]

I love Kris Dunn.  He currently lives and plays ball (and maybe finds time to attend some classes) in my hometown, but I would prefer not to draft another point guard.

It could start to become David Kahnesque.

[DrJasper]

I would be excited to get him at six! He is a very talented prospect with huge upside and I think he'll go top 5.

Would take him after Simmons, Ingram and maybe Brown.

[KG Living Legend]

 Tp back to you the One!
