I don't get the fuss over his medical records.  The guy had the second shoulder surgery at the end of 2013/the beginning of 2014 (I don't know the exact date, I'm just going from his wiki, lol ;D) and hasn't had any problems since.  Plus, it's not like Ainge has passed on guys who have had injuries before, like Bradley and Sullinger (I guess that concerns about his back isn't exactly the same thing, but my point is that there was definite risk in making that selection), and Avery's shoulder problems didn't stop Danny from resigning him.

over on SoSH they mentioned how charlotte gave dunn a promise if he shut down all his workouts.

i dont know if that is true, but it would explain his actions.

If he doesn't want to come to Boston because he knows he'd struggle to get time behind Thomas, then why would he want to go to Charlotte and play behind Kemba Walker?  Doesn't make much sense.
CHA doesn't have a pick anywhere near the top 10. It isn't them.

His agent knows it would look bad to see Dunn miss shots against the folding chair.  That's how bad his offense is.  LOL.  And BTW he's 22, he's not the youngest prospect in the draft, and I don't see him as a 'can't miss' more ready to contribute guy.  He may be a very good defender for a guard, but  I don't see him having Smart level defense with the offense a work in progress. 

And if he's not even competing vs other players in workouts, I find that a big red flag.  OR a big possibility is that Dunn has a promise with a certain team in the top 10 already and just wants to make sure he goes to that team.

Dunn is one of the best perimeter defenders, passers and ball handlers in this draft.  He's an excellent (and borderline 'elite') athlete and has excellent size and length for the PG spot.  He is excellent at getting to the basket (has a rediculous free throw rate for a guard or 44.9%   over his four college years) and has already shown his outside shot has potential (35% and 37% over his past two seasons).

Dunn has the potential to be the best player in this draft when all is said and done.  He could very easily become better then Ingram, Bender, Hield or Murray - perhaps even Simmons.  His potential is off the charts, and he may well have the highest floor of anybody in this draft.

I wouldn't sleep on him - he could very easily become  an All-Star in this league.
An All-Star that shy away from competition will lead you nowhere
He supposedly has a promise.

There is absolutely nothing about Dunn as a player that should make anybody believe he is the type to shy away from competition. 

Dunn is a high character guy with great work ethic, a tough attitude and a high motor.  He's an extremely competitive player.  Anybody who passes on a player of his talent just because he didn't take part in a workout is a fool. Dunn has everything Dwyane Wade has except he's got a better jump shot.  The guy should be an absolute stud.

Then why he avoid to workout for the third and 4th pick team, if he is that good?
