Haven't seen him play, but from what I'm hearing so far, Kris Dunn is lighting it up on both ends of the court
Looks to be a special player!
Which is why Ainge is a moron.
No, Ainge is not a moron.
Dunn is 22. Brown is 19.
Why does this matter?
Because players get better as they get in their 20s.
As long as they have the skills and drive, etc., to succeed, sure, but like tazzmaniac said - look at James Young. When he came out of school people rated him higher than Rodney Hood, for example, because he was an 18 year old left-hander with a superior wingspan (woo) and, supposedly, a great jump shot, while Hood was an
ancient (sarcasm) 21 years old
who was also a southpaw, in addition to being taller, more athletic, a much better shooter, ball handler, and passer with a GREAT WORK ETHIC, while James Young just doesn't care - you can see it in his body language, never mind what horrors happen on the hardwood when he's out there, lol.
So to recap, there's a guy with great skills and the work ethic and desire to improve vs a one and done Calipari crapper who can't even dribble, has no work ethic, and does not put forth any effort while on the court, especially on defense, but we take the latter because, umm, he's 3 years younger and a left-hander so he'll obviously be better than that 21 year old when he's Hood's age? Umm, what? I'd like to know if Ainge's brain doctor - the guy who supposedly determines who has it and who doesn't or something - was in on this pick, because me thinks his track record may suggest that his 'craft' is more pseudoscience than actually anything of substance. We might as well consult with Miss Cleo at this point, lol
. Ugh.
