It's a risk/reward system and the risk is pretty low for a potentially pretty good reward with either of those 2.

Im hoping you have a report later but whats happening there? general feel?

Still can't believe the Bucks took Thon at #10. Maybe they got that Greek Freak feeling again

Kings take Skal. Oh man... Boogie, WCS, Skal, isn't Kufos still on that squad?

Anyone see the quote that Thibs believes Dunn and Ricky can play together? Anyone else having terrible, terrible flashbacks?

They sure have a talented front court.

Suns took 3 pf in the 1st round tonight!

Tibs obviously targeted Dunn and wouldn't give up Lavine in a deal for Butler apparently. He's gotta say they can play together. Dunn has the size to play SG but his value is at PG. Rubio will want a trade. Problem is he doesn't have a ton of value around the league.

I don't get the sense that Thibs says things he doesn't really believe. One of the guys I talked to yesterday has been a friend of Thibs for years. He told me you'll never hear Thibs blowing smoke. He won't tell you things, but he doesn't blow smoke or play games when he talks. Whether or how well Dunn can play with Ricky depends on the extent to which Dunn improves his shot. The good news is that Dunn doesn't come into the League with a bad shot. He's a decent shooter with the potential to get much better. Two great ball-handlers who pass and see the floor really well like Ricky and Dunn could be a nightmare for opposing defenses when combined with Wiggins, KAT and Dieng. And keep in mind that Thibs didn't say he'd pair the two for 30 minutes + a game.

Dunn instantly becomes front-runner status to be our back-up PG. If Rick plays 32 minutes at PG, Dunn gets the remaining 16 while also potentially playing 10-12 minutes next to Ricky. All depends on how well Dunn performs in practice and then in games. As Thibs said a couple days ago, if a young player performs he plays. If Dunn proves to be exceptional during the course of the season, then we're positioned to deal Ricky during next summer's draft.
