I would hope this game would go a long way in showing who is truly the team’s best player. Not best pro prospect or best recruit – best player. Dunn’s individual game stats are scary bad for a supposed AA. I wish he was as good as we are told he is.
Disagree, Dunn is the best we’ve seen in Black and White since Jimmy Walker. He could be in the NBA right now, Do you think we’d be better. Little shooting slump, everyone going zone on us and forcing us to shoot and break out of it. no one is shooting well. Fazekas and Bullock starting to stroke it. I also think he’s better guarding and disrupting their point guard. He’s trying to do too much, true, especially as Bentil was hurt. He will come back to form. Took a few Bad shots, ones that go in for him sometimes.
That is the kind of over hype I speak of. Thanks for making the point. He is not in a “little shooting slump” – he’s been the same player for 2+ years. Look at stats friend. His tos, ft, fg, are awful.
And his inability to shoot can’t always be blamed on others. I dislike that Dunn always gets a pass and no one else does. Not fair.

Jalen Lindsey just coasting in for a layup vs Villanova. Bad effort.
