No matter how good anyone thinks Dunn is gonna be he won't be better then Isaiah. Isaiah is probably the 5th best pg in the league

Well he had a great year, but the PG position is probably as good as I can ever remember it right now, very deep in talent around the league.

I like Dunn, but when was the last time a point guard won a championship?

Last year? and maybe again in a few minutes?

That's a big call man.

Dunn might be the best defensive player in this draft (certainly the best defensive guard).  He's probably top 3 in the draft as a playmaker and ball handler, if not higher.  He's probably a top 3 athlete among all guards in this draft too. 

He's also a very capable scorer, and his jumpshot is improving - especially from midrange, but even his three point percentages were respectable this year. 

He's got the athleticism of Terry Rozier, the defensive ability of Marcus Smart, and the playmaking/ball handling skills if Isaiah Thomas if not better.  If he develops a capable jumper (which he's already starting to do) he could be a legit superstar.

Dunn already look frightenintly like a young Dwyane Wade. He has similar height, length, strength and athleticism.  He has the same "attack the basket" mentality with a similarly competent midrange game, and like Wade he has legit PG skills.  Hard for me to envision him being anything less then a star.

Today. Kyrie Irving was fantastic.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Curry is not a point guard.
He's a two playing the point.

Oh cmon now! Is anyone who handles the ball and scores now disqualified from being called point guard?

Go ahead and call Isaiah a 2 playing the point too, why don't you?

Yeah, I really liked his personality in that video actually. He seems genuine. Not a lot of guys are like that. I appreciate his personality.

With a career average of 7 APG and over 2 assists per turnover, with some of the better ball handlibg skills in the NBA...i think its safe to call him a PG.

I dont get it either.   The kid sounds very down to earth and grounded, not at all arrogant or self centered.

First thing he mentions about his game is liking to get his teammates involved.  Second thing is his defence.  Ball movement and defence - two things the Celtics love to see.
