Draft Projection: Mid-Late Lottery

What he’s good at: The tougher question would be “What isn’t he good at?” By just looking at his numbers this season, you can tell that he’s a player that can fill up the stat sheet in a hurry.

Steals, points, rebounds or anything else you could imagine, Kris Dunn can do it all. The one thing that will make him an NBA lottery pick is his size and defensive potential. Dunn is bigger than your prototypical point guard and with his elite defense, NBA scouts will be watching him closely this season. Athleticism and size cannot be taught, Dunn has both, which should equal tremendous upside and potential at the next level.

And in an NBA that is quickly developing into a guard-driven league, Dunn should warrant plenty of interest as the NBA Draft continues to draw near.
