On the season, he has taken 204 shots....with all 204 shots being from 3 land. He has made them at a 48% clip. Took another 8 shots last night and made 4....all from 3. I have never seen anything like it.

Max Hooper. Lol he takes 3P specialist to a whole other level.

I'm glad this was posted because it's mind boggling. I just looked up his college stats...crazy he has taken 11 two point shots in his entire career. He has attempted more FTs (19) than that. Lol

He grew up with a poster of James Jones hanging on his bedroom wall.

I want Jamal Murray. He is the one.

Not really draft related, but college ball related.....

Here comes Duke again! Man, Coach K has a way of getting these guys up to snuff by March.

I know he gets talent also but that guy can really coach.

Agreed, there is like 20 teams that could win it this year. I am a huge Kansas fan I could see them winning it all our losing in the second round. Should be a fun but stressful march

Welcome to the board. Is anyone worried about Dunn's FT%?

He looks to be a below average shooter and I am concerned about the injury history. He seems to be cooling a bit. Denzel Valentine seems like a better prospect to me at this point. He will be one of those guys that can do it all, but not might be elite at anything. We could use that on this team. Then again his rebouding and play making ability for a SG/SF could be elite at NBA level.

Dunn just went off against Georgetown not too long ago, but he's cooling off? And I'm not worried about his freak injury. Dude is still insanely explosive with much skill to match. You won't find a GM in the league that would take Valentine over him.

Dunn, to me, has bits and pieces of John Wall, Russell Westbrook and Dwyane Wade in his game. Will he become as dominant as those players? I can't guarantee that he will, but I wouldn't say that it isn't possible either. He has that type of upside.

I like where you are coming from in contrast in value of where those guys may be drafted. Part of my point in posting that is it feels like people are overlooking some things about Dunn that are concerns just because he likely is better than Rubio at scoring.

Here is another question. What would it take to get Marcus Smart from Boston and how does his game compare to Dunn? Don't get me wrong I think Dunn is likely a better prospect but one guy has been in the league for a couple years and they are basically the same age. I'm looking forward to seeing more from Dunn I liked what I saw in the little I've seen.

According to NBADRAFT.NET, which likes to give NBA comparisons:

Kris Dunn--NBA Comparison: John Wall

Buddy Hield--NBA Comparison: CJ McCollum/James Harden

Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Who do we draft?

PS, Valentine is lower on the board and doesn't have a comparison.
