Is Dunn Gary Payton?

His d seems potentially on that level.

I know it's way too early but absolute ceiling might be there.

Too early for me to pull a Camden "told ya so"! Haha

I forget who else was on the Dunn wagon before the draft but we were few! Hopefully I don't have to eat any crow in 10 games!

I wasn't until I heard him interview on the Woj podcast before the draft. It was really a character thing for me at that point. His story is insane. Cant help cheering for him. But his athleticism is legit and he's a great size.

I was watching some Gary Payton highlight videos the other day after his son got cut. He was so fun to watch and that dude was so skinny. He had a flair to a game and was just nasty. He wasn't really an outside shooter and was not a good FT shooter either early on.

Look I took a stand and felt like I was skeptical about Some abilities even though I like him and I like some aspects of his game a lot. I will be THRILLED to have him significantly exceed my expectations and make me wrong. It's 3 regular season games but the early returns have been pleasant. :)

Great win, but Conley would have destroyed him.

I don't know, Jerry...I haven't seen anything that tells me this guy isn't going to be a big time defensive player. Unbelievably good footwork, especially for such a young players, and a knack for jumping into passing lanes. The kid seems to be NBA ready on the defensive end.

I'm too classy to get on here and say I was one of the only guys advocating for Dunn in December, and for the exact reasons we're seeing. Oops.

Well, I'm the biggest Rubio backer on this board and even I wanted us to draft Dunn. This team needed to add more defense and "do shit" guys to the roster and he's definitely able to do both.

However, tonight was not a legitimate test for him.

Dunn was my guy if he was available. Hopefully he keeps it up. I need my rep to get rebuilt after I missed on Towns lol. I got Wiggins and Dunn so far.

It certainly was not.
