I was joking with a buddy yesterday that I wondered whether Kobe Bryant would still lead in "Which player would you want taking a shot with the game on the line?"...
I'm guessing that there have been many GMs over the years who have never even seen this survey. And those that do can't take it too seriously.

My 48 win prediction assumes getting very little except defense from Dunn. If he becomes the ROY, my projection is low.
If Dunn gets minutes for ROY it means that Rubio didn't play for whatever reason, and in that case you can throw your 48 win prediction straight into garbage can.
That's a fair point, Brooklyn. I was going in a different direction though. I was thinking that Dunn would impress Thibs as a combo guard, and get 25 minutes a game backing up Ricky and Zach. If he could average 12-4-4 a game and play terrific defense in that scenario, he could become ROY and the Wolves could win 50+ games.
I concede though that the more likely scenario for Dunn becoming ROY is because he becomes the starting PG after a Rubio injury.

Current shooting form of Ricky and Kris doesn't make it plausible.
